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

    Inherit The Earth

    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...

    The handshake

    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...

    Hold on

    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...

    Revolt

    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...

    Her

    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...
