lyrics
It wasn't the worst, for the best I'm waiting still,
I won't see her cry, the memory of last time makes me ill.
And I won't lie, no not a word
And I will try to keep my voices heard.
It's easier to say, it's easier pray, it's easier to wish your entire life away.
I was gonna go to that lunch time Buddhist meeting but I totally forgot, watching films and eating,
I hadn't said I would, I didn't say I'd stay, so I don't suppose it really matters anyway.
New Years makes me sad it makes me want to cry, remembering the faces I wish were by my side, so we will give three cheers to friends that we have lost and family who've gone that we didn't see enough.
So sing all you want, take what you can and leave what's left to the generation next
And when you lie down and take your last breath I hope they are kind, what did you expect?
We are getting closer every single day to that event that we think won't come our way,
And every year marks a step further on so I hope you didn't go and waste another one.
Now I'm all talk I say I wanna fly but I think my wings were clipped when I was just a child
The morning sting of the wind from the sea keeps me coming back once more unto the breach
So sing all you want, take what you can and leave what's left to the generation next
And when you lie down and take your last breath I hope they are kind, what did you expect?
Your future's in their hands,
A night for making lovers, a night for losing friends, a night for kissing others and holding strangers hands.
A night we'll all remember, a night that we'll forget, talking of the past and the people we regret.
So we'll bang on the table with glasses in our hands, shouting all the words from all our favourite bands,
And we'll dance on our chairs and Sally's bound to fall and at midnight I'll remember to give my mum a call.
So sing all you want, take what you can and leave what's left to the generation next
And when you lie down and take your last breath I hope they are kind, what did you expect?
