An Icicle In The Sun
(专辑: In The Long Grass - 1984)
I
know you're brilliant and young You're like an icicle in the
sun You sparkle and you shine, okay And one day soon you'll melt away Fade away, melt away Do, do do do, do do do do, do do do... Do, do do do, do do do do, do do do... It's 6'o clock, and growing colder And nobody looks out on the
bay But now they're sparking up the
window Well I
can see her cry The
water glistening in her eye Trickle down and caught the
line And crash down, quenching Yeah you're brilliant and young But no one said it's any fun I
know you heard somebody say "Every dog must have it's day," -It's not your day, bark away Do, do do do, do do do do, do do do... Do, do do do, do do do do, do do do... It's 8'o clock, I'm growing older She wonders why they stay away It just don't fit in like it used to The
meter's running out She gets another shooting-out She sighs and then she settles down Another evening... I
know you're brilliant and young You burst and now your time has come Where I
stand to look, okay Well I
remember you this way, come this way, don't delay Play the
worn out tape, the
one that has you smiling Play the
parts with ease, where even they survive Turn the
volume down, and all the
old excuses The
ones that said "I Do" I
would if I
could, it's true 'Cause when you're old there's nothing new But just remember When you're brilliant and young It's sad to see what you've become And you just want to shake and shout Leave somewhere, they're going out And straighten them among the
crowd The
cobbles in the
blackest shroud, ooh ooh When you're brilliant and young You're like an icicle in the
sun, number one, rule of thumb Do, do do do, do do do do, do do do...
