Sandi Thom - No more heroes
Tekst :
[Chorus]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn t play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and when radio was king,
When accountants didn t have control
And the media couldn t buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
[Chorus]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When pop-stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
[Chorus]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs,
And playing games meant kick around
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
[Chorus]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late to a world that doesn t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair Inne utwory

The parade of the quaternary symbiosis
Token of a divided existence
Univocal sense of the hallow consistence
A silver stream of cryonics stars
The corrosion of the reality narcosis
Negligence makes the future tense
Axis bent into never ending continuance
Exploring new ground, inverse and far
Coequal nexus of neural perception
Pre-eminant sample of hastins ions
Inherit the Earth
By the...
I just shook the handshake
I just sealed the deal
I ll try not to let them
Take everything they can steal
People always told me
Don t forget your roots
I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots
You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go
Your fairweather friends...
You keep sending me all these things
I m learning how to smile
You keep sending me all these things
I think I ll stay awhile
Tried to talk to you in my dream
You looked at me and smiled
Your smile said...
I fed the fire with my flesh and desire
Spilt the blood upon existence
Tracing trails, a furious tail
Spilt the blood upon existence
Barely touching the mirror of reality
The deformation of what depression denote
A spiritual fusion, drown in conclusions
Derail the path, the course that...
The solar solace within the hideous
Here upon the heralds...
Nobody s quite sure
How it became
But something so good
Could become of this day
But she s like a dream
Where you ve lost all your fear
And in this life you re lucky
To have even one good friend
And it s her that I ll miss...
