BURNING SKY — текст песни (The Jam)

Dear,
How are things in your little world, I hope they`re going well and you are too.
Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every Friday.
I`m really sorry that I can`t be there but work comes first, I`m sure you`ll understand.
Things are really taking off for me business is thriving and I`m showing a profit and.
And in any case it wouldn`t be the same, `cause we`ve all grown up and we`ve got our lives
and the values that we had once upon a time, seem stupid now `cause the rent must be paid
and some bonds severed and others made.

Now I don`t want you to get me wrong, ideals are fine when you are young and I must admit
we had a laugh, but that`s all it was and ever will be, `cause the Burning Sky keeps
burning bright. And as long as it does (and it always will), there`s no time for dreams
when commerce calls. And the taxman`s shouting `cause he wants his dough and the wheels of
finance won`t begin to slow.

And it`s only us realists who are gonna come through `cause there`s only one power higher
than that of truth and that`s the Burning Sky.

Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off, that I`ve got a meeting next week,
with the head of a big corporate I can`t disclose who but I`m sure you`ll know it and.
And the Burning Sky - keeps burning bright. And it won`t turn off til it`s had enough,
it`s the greedy bastard who won`t give up, and you`re just a dreamer if you don`t realize,
and the sooner you do will be the better for you, then we`ll all be happy and we`ll all be
wise and all bow down to the Burning Sky.

Then we`ll all be happy and we`ll all be wise and together we will live beneath the
Burning Sky.
