Lyrics

[01:13.798] It's a chilly English winter
[01:15.795] And solitude is never easy to maintain
[01:19.806] Except when it rains
[01:24.288] So I hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes
[01:27.794] And go out for a walk
[01:31.294] The wet morning sun reflects off the paving-stones
[01:35.039] While a little dog barks its head off
[01:38.794] In the distance
[01:42.800] Oh, what a perfect day
[01:46.793] To think about myself
[01:50.046] My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
[01:54.293] What is there to fear from such a regular world?
[01:57.794] Oh, what a perfect day
[02:01.805] To think about myself
[02:05.039] My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
[02:08.789] What is there to fear from such a regular world?
[02:55.797] Passing by a cemetery
[02:57.301] I think of all the little hopes and dreams
[02:59.797] That lie lifeless and unfilled beneath the soil
[03:06.047] I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh
[03:09.548] He tells himself he was a good man and did good things
[03:13.801] Amused and confused by life's little ironies
[03:17.545] He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation
[03:36.298] People turn around with unseeing eyes
[03:39.556] They're looking for something that doesn't exist
[03:43.051] The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust
[03:46.550] No-one has time for the past, but still, in God they trust
[03:50.294] The future is now, but it's all going wrong
[03:53.795] Bodies good for nothing, but it's to nothing they belong
[03:57.795] People say their prayers and some work hard
[04:01.052] If you give them all your money, they'll give you their hearts
[04:06.550] This town ain't going like a ghost town
[04:11.299] It's going like hell....
