lyrics

Walter Anderson
Living the dream man
Living the dream man

Never again I said to myself never again
When was the rain I asked myself when was the rain
Something's changed

And I want this for myself
For me but no one else
When they promised us tomorrow
but their promises were hollow
We’re all orphans of Apollo

Brive-la-Gaillarde Brive-la-Gaillarde
I’m flying in from Brive-la-Gaillarde
Le Massif Central
Marian’s tears in my lap
Writing lyrics to my songs
My pretty little songs
Why don’t you sing along
Why don’t you
Sing along

And I want this for myself
For me but no one else
When they promised us tomorrow
but their promises were hollow
We’re all orphans of Apollo

It’s 1969
Everything’s fine
Three men have died
Saturn V
That was before forever
Now we are falling together
And the stars you have inside
Shine
And the stars they shine

And I want this for myself
For me but no one else
And I want this for myself
For me but no one else

Space nation space children
Eight and a half minutes to orbit
Oh those Russians
Oh those Russians
A private army
Don’t you wish you were someone else
Don’t you wish you were someone else
My way here would have been different
I will fight for you for you for us
I will fight you for you for us
I will fight you
I will fight you for you for us

ED BORRIE recommends:

GOODBYE W.G.C.
by S*M*A*S*H

"'Goodbye W.G.C.' is a great title for the final S*M*A*S*H album. It has Salv on it but after that, he dropped away completely. We felt it wasn’t S*M*A*S*H any longer without Salv." ED BORRIE
