lyrics

HIGH BARNET

You were waiting in a restaurant
He was waiting for you by the door
Promised you the sky and you fell from it
You got so much more than you bargained for

Chorus:
Now you'll wait all your life, but you'll have to pay the price
But it takes so many years to comprehend
You can borrow all your dreams from those trashy magazines
But you'll have to give them back, in the end.

He would count the stars up in the sky for you
He would charm the birds out of the trees
All these things and more he would do for you
While you picked up all the pieces of your dreams

(Chorus)

The holy gatherings, the smoke and paraffin
The idols you would burn
The sunny afternoons, when conversations turn
To lessons you should learn

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
