Level 42 - Then and now
Tekst :
This is the place where my childhood stoodAl Airfix glue and balsa wood
But you can barely trace the outline of it now
A myth of England lost for good
Beneath the Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hoods
But we ll be swimming in nostalgia till we drown
Somewhere between then and now
We killed and ate our sacred cow s
And nothing seems the same somehow
It all just slipped away
The future that seemed crystal clear
Got stuck in time and disappeared
We watched an era ending here when Stevie went away
When all the dreaming turns to dust
And time has made a fool of us
Till I don t know if to laugh or if to cry
As one more hero betrays our trust
That Georgie Best in each of us
Limps back to the changing rooms to die
Somewhere between then and now
We killed and ate our sacred cow s
And nothing seems the same somehow
It all just slipped away
The future that seemed crystal clear
Got stuck in time and disappeared
We watched an era ending here when Stevie went away
Well there goes the punch line to God s big joke
The World we d set to conquer is just another puff of smoke
It s just a speck on the horizon, just a childish memory
looks like I lost my sense of humour and my sense of irony
Somewhere between then and now
Inne utwory

Do you only wanna dance
Funny thing is when I look into your eyes
I sense something so sincere in your disguise
You whisper secrets I hear only in my dreams
Then I wake up to your tele-smoke screen
I wait patiently while you play your game
Cause in...

Questions
I m open to any suggestions
and facing the problems once faken
And I m keeping the promises maken
Laughing at all the stupid ways that we were acting
I ll always be here to be your friend
and I ll always be here to lend my hand
Peeking through your window all I m seeing...

The borders we traded
The Lumber mill train escapes this small and dusty town
Where the tracks seem to chase the sky forever
But this is not where I belong
Who d know the stranger I d become if this were home.
I m the island you left and...

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there s no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?
Amie come...

Stranger
Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can t speak
I can t make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I m staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
You call me a stranger
You say I m a...
