A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council[00:00:00]
I bought the paper yesterday[00:00:15]
And I saw the obituary[00:00:18]
And I read of how you died in pain[00:00:21]
Well, I just couldn't understand it[00:00:25]
If I could of changed that[00:00:29]
Then Lord knows I'd do it now[00:00:32]
But there is no going back[00:00:35]
And what's done is done forever[00:00:39]
But you were always chained[00:00:45]
And shackled by the dirt[00:00:48]
Of every small town institution[00:00:52]
And every big town flirt[00:00:55]
And I think of what you might have been[00:01:12]
A man of such great promise[00:01:15]
Oh but, you seem to forget the dream[00:01:19]
And the more you saw you hated[00:01:22]
But let's not talk of blame[00:01:26]
For what is only natural[00:01:29]
Like a moth going to a flame[00:01:33]
You had a dangerous passion[00:01:37]
But you were always chained[00:01:43]
And shackled by the dirt[00:01:46]
Of every small town institution[00:01:50]
And every big town flirt[00:01:53]
All the things that you might have been[00:01:57]
But who am I to say[00:02:00]
Still I wonder[00:02:03]
If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay[00:02:04]
If it's the cold earth, you prefer to stay[00:02:11]
