No One Writes Sad Songs Anymore - Natural Child

Deep down in the underground Atoms spinning round and round Scientists monitor readings Searching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the tale Of the one who gives the universe its meaning. But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find? What if we're just passing through time? No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Nobody knows anything Let's break it down and start again What happens when the markets drop, If the numbers really don't add up? Everyone seeks the safe haven. And as they contemplate their ruin, The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room Are trying very hard not to sound cravin' What if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find? Only the blind leading the blind. No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Seems nobody knows anything Let's break it down and start again Let's stop pretending We can manage our way out of here Let's stop defending the indefensible Let's stop relying on The lecturing of the experts Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible. High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinned crop Is thinking deep thoughts for us all Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the sound Of one head being banged against the wall What if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries? No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Since nobody knows anything Let's break it down and start again

No one believes in love anymore They throw away the keys, no one knocked on the door No one knocked on the door, knocked on the door You reap what you sow No one knocked on the door Pain is pleasure and then just pain Chasing the thunder and lost in the rain You are lost in the rain, lost in the rain Yourself to blame You are lost in the rain The skin so enticing, the thrill of the sting Then drops the stinger and the spinning begins Oh yes the spinning begins, the spinning begins The world has gone off the hinders, and the spinning begins A downards spiral, punctured balloon Disfigured and pale looking up at the moon Looking up at the moon, up at the moon We'll all get there soon Looking up at the moon

I keep trying, nothing's working I still wanna know, if you're alone I keep trying to put this behind me I still wanna know who's taking you home For tonight, I'm going to get my mind off it Don't care that someone's got his hands all over my body Stay out all night, go where the music is loud So I don't have to think about it I'm beggin', please, don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play no more sad songs Dancing with danger, talking to strangers Don't care where I go, just can't be alone They'll never know me, like you used to know me, no For tonight, I'm going to get my mind off it Don't care that someone's got his hands all over my body Stay out all night, go where the music is loud So I don't have to think about it, I'm beggin', please, don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play No more sad songs (No, no more sad songs) No more sad songs No more sad songs (No, no more sad songs) No more sad songs (Oh) Going home, take the long way round Lights pass, sit back with the windows down Still got you on my mind Starting to realise No matter what I do I will only hurt myself, tryna hurt you And if I turn the music loud, just to drown you out I'm beggin', please don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) No more! (Sad songs) I'm beggin', please, don't play No more sad songs (No, no more sad songs) No more sad songs No more sad songs (No, no more sad songs) No more sad songs (Oh) No more sad songs
