Lyrics A Well Known Has-Been - Donovan

A Well Known Has-Been

Tonight my life is heavy, I’m weak and down at heel\nThe prisoner in the dungeon will know just how I feel.\nI’m a well known has-been, a well known has-been,\nI’ve got a brand on me.\nWhen I look at my tomorrows, sorrow’s all I see,\nSorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see.\nHow sad my disposition, how long can it I bear?\nHow deep my melancholy, can anybody care?\nFor the well known has-been, the well known has-been,\nI’ve got a brand on me, yeah\nWhen I look at my tomorrows, sorrow’s all I see,\nSorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see.\nWell known has-been\nWell known has-been\nWell known has-been, ooh, ooh, ooh\nI pretend I’m unaffected by the chains that bear me down\nAnd when only those who love me can see behind the frown.\nI’m the well known has-been, the well known has-been,\nI got a brand on me.\nWhen I look at my tomorrows, sorrow’s all I see,\nSorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see, sorrow’s all I see.\n>From these broken days of anguish, some day soon I’m gonna rise,\nI’m gonna raise my head to Heaven, I’m gonna fly the starry skies.\nAnd the well known has-been, the well known has-been,\nI’ll lose the brand on me, yeah.\nToday’s all I see, today’s all I see, today’s all I see.
