Be Long - Mick Flew

The time is almost over The people are divided So come a little closer I try now I can't fight it Evoke the invective Penetrate the malice I'm counting down the minutes From an hourglass full of ice I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long, long, long I won't be long, long, long Can't you hear the catchy station Coming from another car? Broken air conditionin No one has a clue where we are Cause things are getting silly We're covered in a secret Buried in voluptuary Cause there's nowhere else to keep it I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long, long, long I won't be long, long, long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long I won't be long, long, long I won't be long, long, long Oh so silently we go Oh so silently we go Oh so silently we go

No bright lights, no big city Went to my head And so I won't stick around in this town No, I'm getting out instead 'Cause I can't find a thing and get it done Raise my heart and ring my ears So I won't stick around in this town That's true 'Cause I won't and I can't And I don't understand You become what you hate Or you hate what you become? Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone away So I make my way through the quagmire Rumors glorifying me You were as, as the detox in this city So if I may be excused 'Cause I won't and I can't And I don't understand You become what you hate Or you hate what you become? Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone away Well, I won't be around for the good times Won't be around for the bad And I won't stick around in this town No I'm getting out instead, yeah, yeah, yeah And I won't and I can't And I live 'cause I can And I won't be back again Well, I got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get gone away And I gotta get gone away 'Cause I gotta get gone away Gotta get gone away

I dug a single seed into the ground I hope it grows, grows In a year or two if you're around you'll see a rose, rose Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere that you can find me On this train to Paris going nowhere Draw the bridge behind me Don't be gone too long (too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (too long) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone (Ooh, yeah, ooh) When you're, when you're gone (Ooh, yeah, ooh) When you're gone Golden leaves are dancing on the ground It's getting cold, cold Safe from time, we'll be forever young Never old, old See a ball of fire out in space Zooming up behind me All the wonder written on your face Was there inside me Don't be gone too long (too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (too long) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone (Ohh) When you're, when you're gone (Ohhh) When you're gone Bring it back to me, bring it back to me Is it really over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me Is it over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me (yeah) Is it really over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me (Hooo) Don't be gone too long (is it really over) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (is it really over) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (don't be gone too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (when it's over) Don't be gone too long (is it really over) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone

The car zoomed past I watched the passers by Birds flew backwards Yet still arrived Winter seemed to linger But now the swallows have arrived It won't be long Until summertime Walked through woods to the power lines Saw birds fly backwards in perfect line Winter seemed to melt now Now the swallows have arrived It can't be long until summertime Summertime

Once I flew And it made my fingertips sing I was more like a God than a king Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though you don't believe me I know You look where I'm standing now You can't believe I left the ground Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Once I flew And the angels were my friends They would grant my every whim Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though it's easy to forget I don't seem to have managed yet And I don't think I ever will Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Astronauts And in my dreams I am happy again You're in my arms and we're flying again Flying away
