The Old Songs |
| There goes another one |
| Another happy couple on the road to emptiness |
| I think of my father and mother |
| Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess |
| But the old songs say — love’s forever |
| And the old songs never say die |
| But a song can’t keep us together |
| How can that beautiful song be a lie |
| Me I blame the old songs |
| Filling hearts with rebellion and romance |
| Our book of revelations |
| And all we had to do was dance |
| Play us another one |
| Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago |
| They’re all over the bloody radio |
| It’s like they’re telling us there’s nowhere left to go |
| And the old songs say — «be my baby» |
| And the old songs say — «she loves you» |
| All the songs we’ll sing come what may be |
| I like those songs |
| But I’d like something new |
| Me I blame the old songs |
| Protect us all against a change of course |
| All our great expectations |
| Turn to alimony and remorse |
