(
Tim Finn)
Once he thought it was foreverbut it's always never now
It was the best decision that he ever made
Now he's living with the consequenceshe was still a bit greenlike a sheep in a ballroom
She had the devil in her
He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret
Fire was a constant theme
Now he's glad that it's over
And the horrible feelings gone away
Nothing prepares you
He said "I'd do it all againjust to be where I am"
Once he thought it was foreverbut it's always never now
Once he thought it would last foreverbut it's always never now
And it seems so long ago nowwhen he didn't have tha peace in himself
Two overlapping circlesbut you can't find the centre in somebody else
And the hardest of heartscouldn't fail to weep
Now he's on his way
Throw him a line as he walks in his sleep
Now he's on his way
Like the scales on a fish
They flash and flicker in the seabut they're dull in the heat of the sun
When his back was to the wallin a dirty bar in London
He didn't care about the Beatles
She would be angry & frightened
He would be hopeless & guilty
They had to discover that country for themselves
He went through life alwayslooking to turn it around
The only way he can work itis from the insidemaking things happen from within
Once he thought it was forever
But it's always never now
