Seems that we're clogging up the favourite lyrics thread with our obsession, so I thought we'd have a little thread of our own and keep out of everybody's way!!

Here's a couple to get us started:


BAD OLD WORLD
(Sullivan) 1992

Dear Justin, I know it's been a long time
Remember all those nights we spent sitting up talking in your front room
About leaving this worn out world and starting again far away in a better place
Well that's where I am now - but still thinking about you
Ch: I'm never going back there
I'm never going back to the bad old world

I was travelling with Laurel way up on the north coast
She's got family living up here in a nearby town
We found a piece of land that looks out towards
the north sea islands across the bay
And the sun is shining on the water today as I look out of our front door
Ch: I'm never going back there
I'm never going back to the bad old world

Are you still scared of the future? Well, that doesn't surprise me
You could come up and stay here a while, back off from the killing wheel
I used to think it was me who'd somehow sold out
or given in on some almighty cause,
But what difference would it make? It feels good to be out here.
Ch: I'm never going back there
I'm never going back to the bad old world


INHERITANCE
(Sullivan/Heaton) 1988

Mother, Father, I'm doing OK
On the other side of the country, far away
And though I know the things that you want to hear me say
Sometimes these things are hard
Mother, Father, I am your son
Right down to the long thin pointed face
And this muddled up and twisted tongue
And now I find that I'm doing
All those things you would have done
Sometimes these things are hard
Ch: So do I thank you? Do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind
What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine

Mother, Father, all those battles that have been
And the long, long silences that lay in between
Please don't try to tell me all those were in vain
Sometimes these things are hard
We line up at the wedding in rows of deep set eyes
In our finest formal dresses and proper suits and ties
Like a family of Munsters in a really bad disguise
Ch: So do I thank you? Do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind
What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine

Mattie you've been told to keep me entertained eh? :D

Living in the Rose: NMA


The lovers they kiss and slowly they turn
for drawing a breath there is nothing but time
A thousand million years before we crash in the sun
And I know we will be still here in Her arms
In the thick black night we could lie in the grass
And gaze at the sky and watch the satellites pass
A thousand million miles, the earth She will turn
Then still we will be here in Her arms
And if we can float away in our dreams
There's a city that waits under the sea
The days to pass living in the rose
The seeded land slow and old
The scented air heavy and warm
Whispers, touches . . .

Mattie you've been told to keep me entertained eh? :D

LOL!!
