lyrics

Hurry and mend it
It’s not a dare
Was it the real thing? Could be, we’ll see
I think I was there

A real man of passion
And sporadic desire
I’m giving up only, what I, think you
Can stand to acquire

Somedays, the stranger the times
Who can say they know what’s coming now?

Making up stories
Forgetting your part
You think it’s all nothing, but it’s, the way
You’re breaking my heart

Kids on the front line
Of radical change
We never equipped them, for the, mistakes
We shouldn’t have made

Somedays, the stranger the times
Always, blinded from the highs
Who can say they know what’s coming now?

I don’t have the answers
That’s not part of my job
Most of the time, I’m in line, fearing
That I got it wrong

Forgive the folk singer
His soul’s on the line
He carries on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
No one seems to mind

Somedays, the stranger the times
Always, blinded from the highs
I say, the symptoms are mine
Some hurt, but mostly I’m fine
Who can say they know what’s coming now?
