Finn Tim - Always Never Now lyrics

(Tim Finn)

Once he thought it was forever

But it's always never now

It was the best decision that he ever made

Now he's living with the consequences

He was still a bit green

Like a sheep in a ballroom

She had the devil in her

He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret

Fire was a constant theme

Now he's glad that it's over

And the horrible feelings gone away

Nothing prepares you

He said "I'd do it all again

Just to be where I am"

Once he thought it was forever

But it's always never now

Once he thought it would last forever

But it's always never now

And it seems so long ago now

When he didn't have tha peace in himself

Two overlapping circles

But you can't find the centre in somebody else

And the hardest of hearts

Couldn't fail to weep

Now he's on his way

Throw him a line as he walks in his sleep

Now he's on his way

Like the scales on a fish

They flash and flicker in the sea

But they're dull in the heat of the sun

When his back was to the wall

In a dirty bar in London

He didn't care about the Beatles

She would be angry & frightened

He would be hopeless & guilty

They had to discover that country for themselves

He went through life always

Looking to turn it around

The only way he can work it

Is from the inside

Making things happen from within

Once he thought it was forever

But it's always never now
