Hope Fell Down Songtext
von Difford & Tilbrook

You′re banging the drum
You blow your own trumpet
Your ship came in
And your fanfare sunk it

The tide has turned
Our love's gone forever (Ooh), ever (Ooh)
I stand on the shore
As it floats down the river (River), river (River)

I had such hopes
I had such visions planned (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The flames were shot
But now our future′s canned (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)
I had my hopes so high


They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)

I'm banging my head
You watch without malice (You watch with no interest at all)
I bet all your friends
Compare this to Dallas (And many will certainly fall)

So under the arm
I feel the cold shoulder (Ooh), shoulder (Ooh)
So I once again
Have to play the wild rover (Rover), rover (Rover)

I had such hopes
I had such visions planned (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The flames were shot
But now our future's canned (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)
I had my hopes so high


They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Do I need all this pressure? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Do I bury my temper? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)

I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)

I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
(I had my hopes so high)
(They fell right down)

They fell right down
