Mekons – Learning To Live On Your Own lyrics
The night's drawing in on the city,
The manager picks up his phone,
Everything seems such a pity,
Learning to live on your own,
News travels fast down the wire,
Breaks up before it hits home,
Throw a rock n' roll song on the fire,
Learning to live on your own
In the half light of dawn,
You'll wave (leave) this world of ours goodbye (behind),
Please accept this message of my tears
Things that take minutes last for hours,
A plane crashes on its way home,
The company still feeds on our (your) power,
Learning to live on your own
In the half light of dawn,
You'll wave (leave) this world of ours goodbye (behind),
I can't see a new star in the heavens,
I won't (don't) hear the tributes that they own,
Throw a rock n' roll song on the fire,
Learning to live on your own
The manager picks up his phone,
Everything seems such a pity,
Learning to live on your own,
News travels fast down the wire,
Breaks up before it hits home,
Throw a rock n' roll song on the fire,
Learning to live on your own
In the half light of dawn,
You'll wave (leave) this world of ours goodbye (behind),
Please accept this message of my tears
Things that take minutes last for hours,
A plane crashes on its way home,
The company still feeds on our (your) power,
Learning to live on your own
In the half light of dawn,
You'll wave (leave) this world of ours goodbye (behind),
I can't see a new star in the heavens,
I won't (don't) hear the tributes that they own,
Throw a rock n' roll song on the fire,
Learning to live on your own
