The Mighty Wah!

I Know There Was Something
Last night she said to meHer words were ice"Once upon a timeWe could have counted for something....Remember?"I begged "Stop!"But the taunts kept up"'Coz we'd had the freedom and our optimism....Remember?"Heaven sentChances came and wentIf we'd stood our groundThis feeling might stop coming round'Cos I get glimpsesI get spastic echoIn fairground mirrorsI know there was somethingOnce our eyes and minds cut deep'Cos talk was cheapOur every actionRang out sound not hollow....Remember?Why did we stop?Songtexte'Coz when our guard was droppedOur aspirations had their consequences....Remember?Heaven sentHeaven sent opportunitiesCame and wentLost! The teeth we'd foundHow I wish we'd stood our groundThat's what I'm trying to say to you!And I get glimpsesDeep in the nightLike a spastic echoIn fairground mirrorsI know there was somethingSo now the bottle's goneAnd the chance is none!Only torture for the likes of usWhose hopes and aspirationsStuck in our throatsChoked us close to death("seconds away for the final round - k.o. to win")Last night she said to meHer words were ice"The bubble's burst- Why don't you blow another?(other, other....)"
