Intro

A sense of duty was my one intention

 and an ugly beauty was my own invention

Pride a proud refusal

I refuse to need your approval

Too many seekers, too few beacons

 But through the fog, we'll keep on beaming

 Through the crying hours

 of your glittery years

all the living out, of your tinsel tears

 and the midnight trains, I never made

'cos I'd already

played...the game

Everybody's got their own good reason

 why their favorite season, is their favorite season

Winter winners and those summers suns

 aren't good for everyone, aren't good for everyone

Spring has sprung and autumns

So well done, so well done

 And it's a better thing

 that we do now,

 forgetting everything, the whys and hows

 While you reminisce

 about the things you miss

 you won't be ready, to kiss...goodbye

The earth is a world

 The world is a ball

 A ball in a game with no rules at all

 And just as I wonder

 at the beauty of it all

 you go and drop it and it breaks when it falls

 I'll never understand

 why you thought I would

 need to be reassured and be understood

 When I always knew

 that your bad's my good

 and I was ready

ready...to be loved

 Born under Mars

 With Jupiter rising

 Fallen from stars

 That lit my horizon

 I'll never understand

 why you thought I would

 need to be reassured and be understood

 When I always knew that your bad's my good

 and I was ready, ready...to be

 Through the crying hours

 of your glittery years

all the living out of your tinsel tears

 and the midnight trains

 I never made 'cos I'd al-ready played

 and it's a better thing

 that we do now forgetting

Everything the whys and hows

 While you reminisce about the things you miss

 you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye
