No Excuses Songtext
von The Divine Comedy

Out of sight, out of sight and out of mind
Make a fossil fuel of time and exhaust it
Bring it home, bring it straight back home to me
You can hate mortality, but you can′t stop it

No excuses, no little white lies
No more promises left to break
Take your chances whenever they arise
Or one day it'll be too late


Memories, memories are made of snow
They diminish in the glow of ambition
One last chance, one last golden chance remains
To ignore it or to change, it′s your decision

No excuses, don't turn away
Don't say you′ve done all that you can
You′ve had chances, but you've been afraid
I′m afraid of who I am, but now I understand

Plant a seed, plant a seed and watch it grow
Watch the green shoots start to show, see it flowering
With each flower, with each tendril, bloom and stem
It is giving thanks to them who gave everything
