lyrics

Later someone would say, you were sensible but daft.
I remember cigarettes on the back seat of your dad’s car.
And my parents were already awake at around half past three, when a knock on the door and news from the Police.
It was a tidal wave crashing into our coast.
Now your motorbike comes home on the back of a boat and a friend of yours said you built prisons for yourself, which is why you were so keen to try to break free.
On your thirtieth birthday, sliding on wooden floors.
You came to all of our gigs, I never knew what you thought.
Because your taste in music was one of the worst that i’ve heard, so this song has no chorus, no middle and one verse.
I saw you in a dream, on the edge of my bed.
I asked “where have you been?”, embarrassed you said “it’s all a fuss over nothing”.
How I wish that it was.
We won’t see you again, we won’t see you no more.
So we look at old pictures, cos that’s all we’ve got left.
It was the longest day ever and it’s not over yet.
For as long as we live we’ll still remember you.
For as long as we live, you will live too.
