Burning Sky - The Jam[00:00:00]
How are things in your little world[00:00:21]
I hope they're going well and you are too[00:00:24]
Do you still see the same old crowd[00:00:27]
The ones who used to meet every Friday[00:00:30]
I'm really sorry that I can't be there[00:00:33]
But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand[00:00:36]
Things are really taking off for me[00:00:40]
Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and[00:00:42]
And in any case it wouldn't be the same[00:00:45]
'Cause we've all grown up and we've got our lives[00:00:51]
And the values that we had once upon a time[00:00:54]
Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid[00:00:58]
And some bonds severed and others made[00:01:00]
Do do do [00:01:07]
Oh [00:01:14]
Now I don't want you to get me wrong[00:01:16]
Ideals are fine when you are young[00:01:19]
And I must admit we had a laugh[00:01:23]
But that's all it was and ever will because[00:01:25]
As the burning sky keeps burning bright[00:01:29]
And as long as it does and it always will[00:01:34]
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls[00:01:37]
And the tax man's shouting 'cause he wants his dough[00:01:40]
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow[00:01:43]
Do do do [00:01:50]
And it's only us realists who are gonna come through[00:02:02]
'Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth[00:02:04]
And that's the burning sky[00:02:07]
And that's the Burning sky[00:02:10]
Oh and by the way I must tell you[00:02:21]
Before I sign off that I've got a meeting next week[00:02:26]
With the head of a big corporate I can't disclose who[00:02:29]
But I'm sure you'll know it and[00:02:33]
And the burning sky it keeps burning bright[00:02:35]
And it won't turn off 'til it's had enough[00:02:41]
It's the greedy bastard who won't give up[00:02:44]
And you're just a dreamer if you don't realize[00:02:47]
And the sooner you do will be the better for you[00:02:50]
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise[00:02:53]
And we'll all bow down to the burning sky[00:02:56]
Do do do [00:03:02]
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise[00:03:14]
And together we will live beneath the burning sky[00:03:16]
