lyrics

It's thirty years since '85 | Robbie's dead but Pete's alive | Or so the weblogs say | But no-one's reading them | Today my past caught up with me | And you were standing over there | You asked me what's the time | You asked me what's the year and smiled the saddest smile I'd ever seen | I heard the same, can it be true | The bad die old, the good pass through | Or so the people say | But look where they got us | The cars lie all around | The city's useless now | We took on the world and lost | But everyone's a loser now | But you | I never thought you'd end up here | With all that you were running from | But when the chips are down | I only wish I'd been around | As if you needed me at all | I couldn't stay, just had to go | I waited years for you to show | But that's all in the past | It happened oh so fast | The cars lie all around | The city's useless now | We took on the world and lost | But everyone's a loser now | Thinking what I should have done | There are things you shouldn't touch | And so much you can't control | I didn't find myself back there | But I lost myself in you | And it felt so... | It doesn't have to end this way | Cos you can always start again | It's just a possible world | The cars lie all around | The city's useless now | We took on the world and lost | But everyone's a loser now | But you | You saw it coming, didn't you

Crush Crusher
by IAN SWEET

A crushingly good record. Guitar textures to die for, melodic and harmonic choices that reveal new continents of musical possibility, songs to save your life. Vanilla Swingers

Render Another Ugly Method
by Mothers

Mothers are the best live band around and this is their best record. Cold and forbidding at first but stick with it and be rewarded. Vanilla Swingers
