A Chance to Laugh

from I Want to Hold It So Close by B Pictures

/

lyrics

Remember a hungry boy
Gone slow and confused
Little worlds he could not own
Precious days abused
Married and left my town aflame
But this life’s not run its course
And tomorrow brings a chance to laugh

Now it’s years ago
Too many days have set
You I don’t really remember
But the pain I'll never forget
Married and left my town aflame
But this life’s not run its course
And tomorrow bring a chance to laugh

Amelia strong in the shallow stream
Amelia dear with ambitious dreams
Sometimes it lasts so long…

First things almost never last
Scars seem to hold forever
Sometimes my freedoms and heavens
Are something like better
Married and left my town aflame
But this life’s not run its course
And tomorrow bring a chance to laugh

Perhaps a waste of time
Now the world must be at your feet
I once thought it a failure
But at night you must still feel the heat
But at night you must still feel the heat
But at night you must still feel my heat

BP's sound grew from post-punk and neo-psychedelic movements of the period — a la Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and Dream Syndicate — and eventually stretched into territories inhabited by literate song stylists such as The Smiths. ... more
