Lyric Chain

Tonight maybe we're gonna run, dreaming of the Osaka sun

(Lovers in Japan by Coldplay)

 

We're all going on a Summer Holiday, No more working for a week or two

 

Two's company, three's a crowd.

 

I will sit right down, waiting for the gift of sound and vision.

 

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down


There is something quite prophetic about those lyrics so they must be depressing for a Pompey fan to hear.

and to cheer you up:

We're goin down t'Blackpool alright
We're goin down t'Blackpool for a fight
We're goin down t'Blackpool alright
To see the lights

(The Macc Lads)

 

Anything that's worth having, sure enough worth fighting for
Quitting's out of the question when it gets tough gotta fight some more

 

He says, if you want what's yours by right
You have to struggle with all your might
They'll rob you blind if you don't fight
Son, that was my old man

(My Old Man - Ewan MacColl)

 

My old man said "Follow the van,
And don't dilly dally on the way".

 

I will want to die between the white csacading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow.

 

Born down in a dead man town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.
I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.

 

I just knew that would be the next one!

And just as predictably:

Ill love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

 

I see the bad moon rising
I see trouble on the rise
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today...

I can't help thinking some of these lyrics are very apposite given our current plight.

 

I can see clearly now the rain has gone

 

It's just one more day, no-one said there would be rain again

 

How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away for just one day?

 

I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
