Memory's Flow Lyrics

Robert sang of Charlotte while Simon saved a prayer

And Bowie's underground in modern love

The sweetest dreams in Africa showed no sign of yesterday

When we were tied up in the chains of love

If you lay your hands on me I promise that I'll melt with you

And only if you leave will I fall down

You never let me down, something about you found

That manic Monday's hidden spark

If we could learn to fly to funky town where posh men lie

And make no Promises in the Dark

These are the things that I recall

Purple rain fell all around and Mary's prayer the only sound

Of all the young girls having fun

We were hunting high and low, runnin' down a dream I know,

All across the battlefields of love

And in your eyes this small town boy was pondering his long lost toys and looming education

Senses working overtime, I ran with seagull's simple rhyme

You spin me round, but I'm still standing

We didn't start the fire as all those flames went higher, I was simply working on my tan

These are the things that I remember, from a life not long ago

Feels like I'm facing my December, cheesy sentiment I know

But how the memories still flow

Kiss on my list, kiss from a rose, we found such bliss and

Heaven knows on the edge of seventeen

My private Idaho we'd crucify ourselves and show

Some private dancer no one is to blame

What is love we often asked; our lips are sealed to meet the task,

I know that's funny but you see…

Like a game without frontiers, waiting so long through the years for all those shadows in the rain

Adam stripped on Ozzy's train and Phil said take me home again

Once we crossed the borderline of pain

These are the things that I remember, from a life not long ago

Feels like I'm facing my December, cheesy sentiment I know

But how the memories still flow

We didn't care; we were unaware, of daggers cloaked in shadows in the dark

The ignorance was bliss; those times I truly miss, and I'd return to do it all again

We thought that we were cool, ignoring all the rules,

As challengers were falling from the sky

The spirit of the radio was playing somewhere long ago as

Michael thrilled and scared our lonely hearts

In your wildest dreams you saw a dead man's party wall to wall with or without you at the start

Too shy to face our situation, airwaves blistered in the sun

A life in wartime just begun

Private eyes were everywhere, the hounds of love were unaware,

Head over heals and so in love

These are the things that I remember, from a life not long ago

Feels like I'm facing my December, cheesy sentiment I know

But memories they still continue; just relax and roam through time

I feel the sound it's all around, in the church of the poisoned mind

It wasn't always love and peace signs, London calling for a start

The past is calling like a crime; Mr. Roboto played a part

And still I find I miss those times

We didn't care; we were unaware.
