The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics[00:00:00]
Every generation[00:00:29]
Blames the one before[00:00:34]
And all of their frustrations[00:00:39]
Come beating on your door[00:00:44]
I know that I'm a prisoner[00:00:49]
To all my Father held so dear[00:00:50]
I know that I'm a hostage[00:00:53]
To all his hopes and fears[00:00:56]
I just wish I could have told[00:00:58]
Him in the living years[00:01:00]
Crumpled bits of paper[00:01:08]
Filled with imperfect thought[00:01:13]
Stilted conversations[00:01:18]
I'm afraid that's all we've got[00:01:22]
You say you just don't see it[00:01:28]
He says it's perfect sense[00:01:30]
You just can't get agreement[00:01:33]
In this present tense[00:01:35]
We all talk a different language[00:01:37]
Talking in defence[00:01:40]
Say it loud Say loud[00:01:46]
Say it clear say clear[00:01:51]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:01:56]
It's too late It's too late[00:02:06]
When we die when we die[00:02:11]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:02:16]
So we open up a quarrel[00:02:26]
Between the present and the past[00:02:31]
We only sacrifice the future[00:02:36]
It's the bitterness that lasts[00:02:41]
So Don't yield to the fortunes[00:02:46]
You sometimes see as fate[00:02:49]
It may have a new perspective[00:02:51]
On a different day[00:02:54]
And if you don't give up [00:02:56]
And don't give in[00:02:57]
You may just be O K [00:02:58]
Say it loud say it clear say it clear[00:03:04]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:03:15]
It's too late when we die when we die[00:03:28]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:03:34]
I wasn't there that morning[00:03:45]
When my Father passed away[00:03:50]
I didn't get to tell him[00:03:55]
All the things I had to say[00:03:59]
I think I caught his spirit[00:04:05]
Later that same year[00:04:07]
I'm sure I heard his echo[00:04:10]
In my baby's new born tears[00:04:11]
I just wish I could have told[00:04:14]
Him in the living years[00:04:16]
Say it loud say it clear say it clear[00:04:23]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:33]
It's too late It's too late[00:04:43]
When we die It's too late[00:04:48]
When we die[00:04:50]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:04:53]
Say it Say it Say it loud Say loud[00:05:02]
Say it clear come on say clear[00:05:07]
Say it loud say it clear[00:05:12]
Say it clear[00:05:16]
