[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Crying with the sadness in your eyes1
And I can find a faith in years I’ve wasted
Being around enough to feel alive2
And when the world is broken, hurt and colder
No one ever knows the reason why3
For the ones we may become
For the balance we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight4
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope
For the best don’t want you resting my bones5
And you’re calling me now
I will see you all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching you6
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the light is gone7
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before the day goes off8
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days9
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days10
What a day to believe
To believe in the night
Want a date to belong, to a face in the crowd to the beat of your heart11
And the moment begin
And you’re working it out
And you’re holding us all
In your hands, don’t want you waiting for12
Take me back
Before we lose control
Before the tables turn
Before we break it off13
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us off
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Crying with the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in years I’ve wasted
Being around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hurt and colder
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the balance we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Tonight, tonight, we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days14
