SWAN SONG
So you start selling me this beautiful dream and
I start to believe 'cause I need to believe
Before I know it, I've come this far.
Gotta a second rate house gotta a third hand car.
So now I'm stuck in some 3D fantasy
Head stacked up with how it should be
See everything changes, the day you start.
Cheating your head like it was your heart
See I just wanna trust in something, that puts it's trust in me
I wanna believe in something, that believes in me
I wanna hold onto something that won't let me go
And if this is our swan song - I don't wanna know
Then the fat b**ch sings and you've realise too late
All the stuff that you bought -well it don't mean a thing
And the dream you've been sold - hell none of it's true
And your kids all take drugs so they don't wind up like you.
I don't wanna trust in something that don't put trust in me
I don't wanna believe in something, that don't believe in me
Don't wanna hold to something that just lets me go
But if this is our swan song - I don't wanna know
See me I think pragmatism is the last refuge
To which a failure will cling
I stopped believeing in a lot of stuff
But I still believe in my dreams
So if you wanna trust in something, put your trust in me
If you wanna believe in something, you can believe in me
If you wanna hold to something, I won't let you go
And if this is our swan song - I won't let you know |

I'm not normally into lyrics - they come hard to me - often I'm surprised to learn what a song is about when I read the lyrics to a song I've listened to many times - but that lyric is head on. Says alot about what we value.

The lyric here reminds me alot of the type of lyrics the Goo Goo Dolls are known for (Johny Reznick?). They write such good solitary, misunderstood, man-against-the-world type lyrics that connect. |

There's an automatic filter on swear words which translates them into non offensive surrealism. Check this out; "f**k shit bastard orafice copulation b**ch roses" ...... free CD to anyone who can work out what I just said! |

Just for anyone interested. Gigged the song tonight for first time - went down a storm.... It's not up there with 'Control' for us musically as it's just a fat groove with the lyric busted out over the top. Will attempt to record it for your listening peasure at somepoint but just wanted to share - it worked! |
