Radio Paradise (mobile)

There's only seconds of your life
That really count for anything
All the rest is killing time
Waiting for a train
Come the revelation brother
I was sitting by myself
The last thing I was looking for
Came and left
The sea still rolled, no mountain fell
The sun still rose, the moon as well
I was undone, some kind of free
The day you sent your spirit to me
I ran and looked in the mirror
Like I'm expecting a change
But there deep in my eyes
The fear remained
The sea still rolled, no mountain fell
The sun still rose, the moon as well
I was undone, some kind of free
The day you sent your spirit to me
Is this just something else to lose
That you never replace
Another name that you try to give a face

Bowie had Peter Frampton on guitar, by the way. If anything, I enjoyed Big Country more. luvinlife wrote: yeah - saw them live in early 80's, great live band [ Reply ]

Hearing this makes me sad that Stuart Adamson didn't get the help he needed before taking his own life. Waste of a life, waste of talent. Bummer. [ Reply ]

EssexTex Nov 23, 2009 - 07:52	At their height I only ever seemed to hear the most commercial of their songs played on the mainstream radio, As I never owned any of Big Country records I missed out on their less known but sometimes better tracks. [ Reply ]
