Friend, answer me,
How come you ceased to be
Young and slim carefree
Ladies' man?
Tippled and smoked,
Quenched the fire and stoked,
Planned on keeping this stroke
To the end.
Christ year left behind,
Milestone passed.
Dream burning in your mind
Turned to ashes and dust...
Chorus:
Through cracks on TV screen
Comes long-forgotten tune
Which makes you realise:
You smoothed the edges clean
And turned your life into
Revolting compromise;
No deal, no dice!
Friend, answer me,
How you fight the ennui?
Are you filling it with
Booze or sport?
Would you at last
Have a taste of the past?
Spotlight's on, die is cast.
Strike your chord!
Christ year left behind,
Milestone passed.
Dream burning in your mind
Turned to ashes and dust...
Chorus:
Through cracks on TV screen
Comes long-forgotten tune
Which makes you realise:
You smoothed the edges clean
And turned your life into
Revolting compromise;
No deal, no dice!
Chorus:
Through cracks on TV screen
Comes long-forgotten tune
Which makes you realise:
You smoothed the edges clean
And turned your life into
Revolting compromise;
No deal, no dice!
