Goodbye Lennon Lyrics

It's thirty years since '85
Robbie's dead but Pete's alive
Or so the weblogs say
But no-one's reading them

Today my past caught up with me
And you were standing over there
You asked me what's the time
You asked me what's the year and smiled the saddest
smile I'd ever seen

I heard the same, can it be true
The bad die old, the good pass through
Or so the people say
But look where they got us

The cars lie all around
The city's useless now
We took on the world and lost
But everyone's a loser now

But you
I never thought you'd end up here
With all that you were running from
But when the chips are down
I only wish I'd been around

As if you needed me at all I couldn't stay, just had to go
I waited years for you to show
But that's all in the past
It happened oh so fast

The cars lie all around
The city's useless now
We took on the world and lost
But everyone's a loser now

Thinking what I should have done
There are things you shouldn't touch
And so much you can't control
I didn't find myself back there
But I lost myself in you

And it felt so...
It doesn't have to end this way
Cos you can always start again
It's just a possible world

The cars lie all around
The city's useless now
We took on the world and lost
But everyone's a loser now

But you
You saw it coming, didn't you
