Lyrics
I am try-ing to be h-e-ro-ic,
In a-n age of mo-der-ni-ty.
I am try-ing to be h-e-ro-ic,
'cause all a-a-round me his-to-ry sings.
So I en-joyed and I d-e-vo-ured
flesh a-nd wine and lu-xu-r-y.
But in my heart,
I a-m luke-warm;
no-thi-ng ev-er re-a-lly tou-ches me.
At Les Tr-o-i-s Gar-co-ns
we me-et at pre-cise-ly 9 o'-clock.
I or-der th-e-e-e foie gras
and I e-e-e-e-at it with com-plete dis-dain.
Bub-bles rise in cham-pagne flutes,
but when we kiss, I feel no-thing.
Feast-ing o-n sleep-ing pills
and M-a-rl-boro Reds.
Oh-ho ho-w our ho-w our pa-r-ents
they su-u-u-uff-ered for no-thing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the Eight-ies ne-ver hap-pened.
Pe-o-ple are a-fraid are a-fraid
To me-e-erge on the free-way.
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Stroll past th-e-e-e pi-er
in-to the ma-ga-zi-ne launch par-ty.
I'm han-ded a-a-a-a pi-ll,
and I swa-a-a-a-al-low with com-plete dis-dain.
Kick-drum bangs off beat high-hats;
Re-mem-ber to look bored.
We suck each ot-hers' fa-a-ces,
and make sure we are noticed-.
Be-cause East Lon-don is a vam-pi-re,
it sucks the joy right out of m-e
How we long for cor-rup-ti-on in these gol-den years.
Oh-ho ho-w our ho-w our pa-r-ents
they su-u-u-uff-ered for no-thing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the Eight-ies ne-ver hap-pened.
Pe-o-ple are a-fraid are a-fraid
To me-e-erge on the free-way.
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Dis-ap-pear he-re
Notice
Drumming was hard and also unclear in parts so I
hope it's all good enough.
