lyrics

When you gonna make your mark
When you gonna show your best?
Come to the city with your small town ways
See if you pass the test

You were thinking of the hills and sea
Staring from your tower
The lights in the city block out the stars
Even at the darkest hour

I never took the chance when it came my way
I never knew it couldn’t last
I was the life and the soul they say
And now I’m the ghost that’s passed

On the shores of Tintagel
Where a king was born
Echoes of a regal past
Gliding on the dance floor

Are we going out on the town tonight?
At the party that never stops
Out with Barney and the Biscuit Boys
Until the light comes up

I never took the chance when it came my way
I never knew it couldn’t last
I was the life and the soul they say
And now I’m the ghost that’s passed

The brightest star burns out first
And this is what remains
A simulacrum of dreams
And bedsheet red with stains

After the party’s over
Where do we find our peace –
Those now gone are dancing still
To the never ending beat

I never took the chance when it came my way
I never knew it couldn’t last
I was the life and the soul they say
And now I’m the ghost that’s passed
