Les paroles


1. IS IT ANY WONDER?

I, I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
And so on, but now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
But sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a sound bite

Is it any wonder that I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Nothing left beside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right

Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?


2. LET IT SLIDE

The same, always the same
Bitter words are all that remain
Of the dream that had taken you in
But all her words were dust in the wind

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know?
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide

Say, what's that you say?
Time to move on
And you're in the way
Let's get to the end
And not turn around
She built you up so she could knock you down

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know?
The time to let go
It's time to move aside
To let it slide

Friend, there's nothing there
You're clinging on to air
You're reaching back
To something that
You never had

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know?
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
To let it slide
Why'd you never know?
It's time to let go
It's time to move aside
To let it slide


3. HE USED TO BE A LOVELY BOY

Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down
No one here will miss you now
Time to wake up and look around

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Turn away and turn a head
Just a hopeless dreamer she said
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead
Find a shore that needs you instead

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands
World at your feet
No adventure left incomplete

Find a place where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside
Time's so unkind
Like an old friend leaves you behind

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands
