The Mighty Wah! - I Know There Was Something lyrics

Last night she said to me Her words were ice "Once upon a time We 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 sent Chances came and went If we'd stood our ground This feeling might stop coming round 'Cos I get glimpses I get spastic echo In fairground mirrors I know there was something Once our eyes and minds cut deep 'Cos talk was cheap Our every action Rang out sound not hollow ....Remember? Why did we stop? 'Coz when our guard was dropped Our aspirations had their consequences ....Remember? Heaven sent Heaven sent opportunities Came and went Lost! The teeth we'd found How I wish we'd stood our ground That's what I'm trying to say to you! And I get glimpses Deep in the night Like a spastic echo In fairground mirrors I know there was something So now the bottle's gone And the chance is none! Only torture for the likes of us Whose hopes and aspirations Stuck in our throats Choked us close to d**h ("seconds away for the final round - k.o. to win") Last night she said to me Her words were ice "The bubble's burst - Why don't you blow another? (other, other....)"
