The Day After The Revolution - Lyrics by Pulp


Lyrics
(J. Cocker/
Pulp)
The dust has settled, replaced the bulbs in all the lights.I guess I'llget no sleep tonight.A revolution happened.
Oh, sorry you haven'theard.
We are the children of the new world.
If you're quiet you can watchif you like.
They say the future's beginning tonight.
Whole empires willcrumble.
Civilisations will fall.
Lie on the bed, hear the sound of itall.
No anger, no guilt & no sorrow: it sounds unlikely, I know, buttomorrow you will wake up to find that your whole life haschanged.
Although nothing looks different a revolution took place, I lovethe way you do it, I love the way you put them on.
You know the answersbut you get it wrong.(
Just to confuse things).
Why did it seem sodifficult to realise a simple truth? The revolution begins & ends withyou.
Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small.
Now we decided notto die after all.
Because the meek shall inherit absolutely nothing atall.
If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much more.
Theanswer was here all the time, you see.
Just how I missed it is a mysteryto me.I have waited & waited for this day to arrive.
The revolution wastelevised.
Now it's over, bye, bye.
It's over, bye, bye.
Yeah, we madeit.
Just by the skin of our teeth.
Perfection is over (
The Rave is over)
Sheffield is over.
The Fear is over.
Guilt is over (
Please leave thebuilding quietly) Bergerac is over.
The hangover is over.
Men areover.
Women are over. Cholesterol is over.
Tapers are over.
Irony isover.
Bye Bye Bye Bye.
