You burn so brightly
To shame the shamed
Feeling feelings were never yours
You woke up screaming
1974
1974
74, 74, 74, 74
Child of the 80's
The Hillsborough crush
That girl in the fourth year
That was up the duff
Lisa Parkes I loved you
But you never saw
A year below you
1974
1974
You're face now fear here
You're getting skanks
Must be a reason
Why I'm shooting blanks
If you were the somewhere
Right in my life
The only saviour
You're mine tonight
Big wheel turning
Down by the river
Found my calling
Down by the river
Wanna live forever
So far so good
Now I trust myself better
God I wish you would
I've never been ungrateful
Good with the law
I know I've been faithful
1974
1974
I'll die in your footsteps
Trade on your name
I'll kill you with kindness
If you hurt me again
Standing in the rain
Thinking of you tonight
I've been searching for a meaning
Trying to find a wife
Loving all persons
To make it alright
I've been singing in the rain
Watching over you tonight
Stunned by the saddest
Songs she used to sing
Don't look for tomorrow today
Goodbye dear Sunday
It's been fun now it's Monday
Everything's coming up roses
