作词 : MacManus | |
The sun struggles up another beautiful day | |
And I felt glad in my own suspicious way | |
Despite the contradiction and confusion | |
Felt tragic without reason | |
There's malice and there's magic in every season | |
[Chorus:] | |
From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf | |
The other side of Summer | |
To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf | |
The other side of Summer | |
The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace | |
The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice | |
The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows | |
A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars | |
So help her if you can | |
'Cos she don't seem to have the attention span | |
[Chorus] | |
Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"? | |
A poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"? | |
The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop | |
The pop princess is downtown shooting up | |
And if that goddess if fit for burning | |
The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning | |
Madman standing by the side of the road saying | |
"Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes" | |
Now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take | |
Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide awake | |
[Chorus] | |
The mightiest rose | |
The absence of perfume | |
The casual killers | |
The military curfew | |
The cardboard city | |
An unwanted birthday | |
The other side of summer | |
The dancing was desperate, the music was worse | |
They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless | |
Goodnight | |
God bless | |
And kiss "goodbye" to the earth | |
The other side of summer |
