Burning Sky (Demo Version) - The Jam (果酱乐队)[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Weller[00:00:00]
How are things in your little world[00:00:08]
I hope they're going well and you are too[00:00:10]
Do you still see the same old crowd[00:00:15]
The ones who used to meet every friday[00:00:17]
I'm really sorry that I can't be there[00:00:21]
But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand[00:00:24]
Things are really taking off for me[00:00:28]
Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and[00:00:31]
And in any case it wouldn't be the same[00:00:35]
'Cause we've all grown up and we've got our lives[00:00:41]
And the values that we had once upon a time[00:00:45]
Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid[00:00:48]
And some bonds severed and others made[00:00:52]
Do do do[00:01:00]
Now I don't want you to get me wrong[00:01:14]
Ideals are fine when you are young[00:01:17]
And I must admit we had a laugh[00:01:21]
But that's all it was and ever will because[00:01:24]
As the burning sky keeps burning bright[00:01:28]
And as long as it does and it always will[00:01:34]
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls[00:01:38]
And the tax man's shouting 'cause he wants his dough[00:01:41]
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow[00:01:45]
Do do do[00:01:52]
And it's only us realists who are gonna come through[00:02:05]
'Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth[00:02:09]
And that's the burning sky[00:02:12]
And that's the burning sky[00:02:16]
Oh and by the way I must tell you[00:02:27]
Before I sign off that I've got a meeting next week[00:02:30]
With the head of a big corporate I can't disclose who[00:02:34]
But I'm sure you'll know it and[00:02:38]
And the burning sky it keeps burning bright[00:02:41]
And it won't turn off 'til it's had enough[00:02:47]
It's the greedy bastard who won't give up[00:02:51]
And you're just a dreamer if you don't realize[00:02:54]
And the sooner you do will be the better for you[00:02:58]
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise[00:03:01]
And we'll all bow down to the burning sky[00:03:05]
Do do do[00:03:12]
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise[00:03:25]
And together we will live beneath the burning sky[00:03:29]
