Ub40 Now And Then Lyrics

Now And Then Lyrics

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes
with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would
be

To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not
to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery


Now and
then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than
simple words, so I can say
I'm quite content and happy being
me


Walking tall with peace of mind
To leave no childhood dreams
behind
Arriving home to always find
Things just as I know they ought to
be


Now And Then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To
vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single
day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never
came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's
misery



Now and then
I wake up, when it hits me like a ton of
bricks
I realise it's me who has to take the licks
No angels up there
looking after me
No rainbow with a pot of gold
No cloak to shield me from
the cold
No pill to stop me growing old
Dreams fading into stark reality
