Tony Wright Songtext
von Spearmint

I put on the saddest music I can find
Only sad will do
The cheerful songs sound phony now
Late afternoon

I sit here and thoughts drift back
To all those years ago
Tony said back then
That what we were doing
Seemed so important but really it meant nothing
I don′t agree
The songs he sang
Mean everything to me


Wednesday nights
We'd meet in the bar
Tony Wright
Sang the songs that made me who I am
At least he had the grace to give it all up
While I carried on for years
Dodged responsibilities
Hiding in the songs we sang
Now the songs is all I am

And if the person you were then
Met the person you are now
What would they think of the things you′ve done
Of what you've become
What did you do
With your economics degree?

Ended up
Working in your dad's spring factory
Do you ever play
Those songs anymore?
While a four inch dinosaur
Runs around the kitchen floor


Now the sky is orange like
The labels on my old Bowie albums
And the light is fading
And I sit here
Thoughts drift back
To all those years ago
Wednesday nights
We′d meet in the bar
Tony Wright
Sang the songs that made us who we are
