Intro

A sense of duty was my one intention

and an ugly beauty was my own invention

Pride a proud refusal

I refuse to need your approval

Too many seekers, too few beacons

But through the fog, we'll keep on beaming

Through the crying hours

of your glittery years

all the living out, of your tinsel tears

and the midnight trains, I never made

'cos I'd already

played...the game

Everybody's got their own good reason

why their favorite season, is their favorite season

Winter winners and those summers suns

aren't good for everyone, aren't good for everyone

Spring has sprung and autumns

So well done, so well done

And it's a better thing

that we do now,

forgetting everything, the whys and hows

While you reminisce

about the things you miss

you won't be ready, to kiss...goodbye

The earth is a world

The world is a ball

A ball in a game with no rules at all

And just as I wonder

at the beauty of it all

you go and drop it and it breaks when it falls

I'll never understand

why you thought I would

need to be reassured and be understood

When I always knew

that your bad's my good

and I was ready

ready...to be loved

Born under Mars

With Jupiter rising

Fallen from stars

That lit my horizon

I'll never understand

why you thought I would

need to be reassured and be understood

When I always knew that your bad's my good

and I was ready, ready...to be

Through the crying hours

of your glittery years

all the living out of your tinsel tears

and the midnight trains

I never made 'cos I'd al-ready played

and it's a better thing

that we do now forgetting

Everything the whys and hows

While you reminisce about the things you miss

you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye
