Joe Jackson - The Old Songs lyrics

rate me

There goes another one

Another happy couple on the road to emptiness

I think of my father and mother

Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess

But the old songs say - love's forever

And the old songs never say die

But a song can't keep us together

How can that beautiful song be a lie

Me I blame the old songs

Filling hearts with rebellion and romance

Our book of revelations

And all we had to do was dance

Play us another one

Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago

They're all over the bloody radio

It's like they're telling us there's nowhere left to go

And the old songs say - "be my baby"

And the old songs say - "she loves you"

All the songs we'll sing come what may be

I like those songs

But I'd like something new

Me I blame the old songs

Protect us all against a change of course

All our great expectations

Turn to alimony and remorse
