it's kind of an older song, mid-late 90s i guess, but i was just listening to "Half Closing Time" by Portishead, as i was putting away some groceries, and it's such a pretty song that i wanted to sing along but i was pretty sure that the lyrics weren't "through the times of lasting love, from paris stopped to things tried and test there" so i looked them up online. well, i got the first verse right, after that, i got only one word right, "dreams."
Half Time Closing by Portishead
In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted
It aint here today
Through the times of lasting love,
When parents talked of things tried and tested,
They dont feel the same.
Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.
From beyond the shrinking skies,
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized,
It dont pave the way.
Underneath the fading sun,
The silent sum of a businessman,
Has left us choking.
Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.
In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted,
It aint here today
Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.
