King Arthur - Mekons

Blue mist rolled through cans and weeds

The street lamps lit empty rail yards

In the shadows a man hid

His eyes as cold as the grave

His mind was filled with memories

Of friends long gone by

The vans roared around him

In the spotlight he cried

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree

Scattered all over from Newport to Leeds

People hiding people like bees

Talking of unity, crippled by fate

Divided and lonely, too weak and too late

Across Treaty Square the lights burn late

They’re working overtime in the cells tonight

Away down the streets as empty as a vote

South of the river, down in the pond

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree

Blue mist rolled through cans and weeds

The street lamps lit empty rail yards

In the shadows a man hid

His eyes as cold as the grave

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree

No one ever says goodbye these days

We’re all too busy running scared

With eyes of broken ice I watched you go

We’re falling like leaves from the tree
