Spirit Of '76 - The Alarm[00:00:00]
Well I find myself in reverie[00:00:35]
'Bout what we might have had[00:00:39]
And what might have been[00:00:41]
We had something going once[00:00:44]
That was such a long long time ago[00:00:46]
It was way back in '76[00:00:51]
Our friendship formed of pure innocence[00:00:55]
We first met in Mathew Street[00:00:59]
Where we heard something that would set us free[00:01:02]
A sign stands over a door it says[00:01:08]
"Four lads who shook the world"[00:01:11]
In the depths of those heady nights[00:01:16]
We would dream of those bright lights[00:01:20]
Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend[00:01:24]
And my friend John he went away[00:02:04]
He made some mistakes[00:02:07]
Spent time in Walton jail[00:02:09]
And now when I see him we still talk[00:02:11]
But there's no light shining in his eyes[00:02:15]
And Susie she was seventeen[00:02:20]
And more beauty in this world[00:02:23]
I swear you'll never see[00:02:25]
I was gonna be king[00:02:27]
And she was gonna be queen[00:02:29]
But now all she does is hide behind the tears[00:02:31]
If there was more sense in this world[00:02:36]
And work wasn't so hard to find[00:02:38]
You would not be going your way[00:02:44]
I would not be going mine[00:02:47]
Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend[00:02:51]
Somewhere tonight out on the street[00:02:55]
Somewhere beneath this city's heat[00:02:59]
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by[00:03:03]
Life is cruel and so unkind[00:03:07]
Oh Oh the SPIRIT OF '76[00:03:11]
And Pete has seen his dreams come true[00:03:36]
But that don't make him no hero[00:03:39]
He's just one of the lucky few[00:03:41]
If a man can't change the world these days[00:03:43]
I still believe a man can change his own destiny[00:03:46]
But the price is high that has got to be paid[00:03:51]
For everyone who survives there are many who fail[00:03:54]
I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire[00:03:59]
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre[00:04:02]
I will never give in until the day I die[00:04:06]
Get myself some independence[00:04:15]
Carve out a future with my two bare hands[00:04:18]
Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend[00:04:23]
Somewhere tonight out on the street[00:04:27]
Somewhere beneath this city's heat[00:04:30]
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by[00:04:34]
Life is cruel and so unkind[00:04:38]
Oh Oh the SPIRIT OF '76[00:04:42]
Mersey lights shine in the distance[00:04:57]
Same as they did for us then[00:05:00]
Mersey lights shine bright in the distance[00:05:05]
Where are you now my friend[00:05:09]
You see some nights when I can't sleep[00:05:13]
I still think of you[00:05:17]
And all the promises[00:05:21]
All our dreams we shared[00:05:23]
I know those lights still call to you[00:05:29]
I can hear them now[00:05:37]
I can hear them now[00:05:40]
(Still shining for us)[00:05:46]
(Let em shine)[00:05:52]
(Can you hear them)[00:05:56]
(Can you hear them)[00:05:59]
(Lights are still shining)[00:06:21]
Somewhere tonight out on the street[00:06:26]
Somewhere beneath this city's heat[00:06:30]
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by[00:06:34]
Life is cruel and so unkind[00:06:38]
Oh- Oh[00:06:42]
Where's it gone[00:06:44]
The SPIRIT OF '76[00:06:45]
