"Once upon a time we could have counted for something
Remember, I begged stop but the taunts kept up
'Cos we'd had the freedom and our optimism, remember?"

Heaven sent
Chances came and went
If we'd stood our ground
This feeling might stop coming round

'Cos I get glimpses
I get spastic echo
In fairground mirrors
I know there was something

Once our eyes and minds cut deep 'cos talk was cheap
Our every action rang out sound not hollow
Remember, why did we stop? 'Cos when our guard was dropped
Our aspirations had their consequences, remember

Heaven sent
Heaven sent opportunities came and went
Lost, the teeth we'd found
How I wish we'd stood our ground
That's what I'm trying to say to you

And I get glimpses
Deep in the night
Like a spastic echo
In fairground mirrors
I know there was something

So now the bottle's gone and the chance is none
Only torture for the likes of us whose hopes and aspirations
Stuck in our throats choked us close to death
(Seconds away for the final round, K.O. to win)

Last night she said to me, her words were ice
"The bubble's burst, why don't you blow another?"

"Once upon a time we could have counted for something
Remember, I begged stop but the taunts kept up
