Songtext zu 'Last Tears' von The Walkabouts

These are your last tears for the century
don't cry them for me

these are your last tears, before the
party starts
don't throw them away

use em' wisely, use em' large
use em' soft, and use em' hard

once were flush but now we're skint as
bone
can ill-afford to waste our tears alone

these are our last tears for this century
don't blame them on me

this is our first, and surely, our last
attempt
to earn what we've spent

set 'em up, and knock 'em back
lost in the stars, lost in the scraps

next century will never ask you why
cares not if you've come, or if you cried

last tears of the century
they keep on comin'

All the revolutions, they've been here and gone
missed everyone

except the one that we have, yet begun
missed everyone

spin in circles, till we're stung
by every heart, and every gun

Put the future behind us, until we see today
happiness can't buy ya' money, till we see today

and the only thing that's left to do
is to see that they don't cover you .....
last tears of the century
