Let it down, let it down, let it down now
Let it down, let it down, let it down now
Let it down, let it down, let it down now
I always hate nostalgia
Living in the past
No use getting misty-eyed
It all screamed by so fast
When life was so much calmer
Severely buttoned up
The future rich in promises
Milk flowing from the cup
I would spend those lazy days
Lying on a ridge
Watching girls in cotton dresses
Diving off the bridge
Is it too far gone?
Is it too far gone?
Is it too, too far
Too far gone
This was once the country
Now its all the town
What was once the tallest spire
Is just a building crumblin' down
And I'm living in a factory
That's a million dollar flat
I'm not looking for Arcadia
Cause its never coming back
I would spend my childhood days
Lost in starry dreams
And now watch my children
Just downloading them to screens
Let it down, let it down, let it down
Let it down, let it down, let it down
'Cause it's too far gone
It's too far gone
Yeah, it's too, too far
Too far gone
Let it down, let it down, let it down
I'm lying in the garden
Carpets in the shade
Thinking of the future
And all the love we saved
The world outside is ugly
It's bitter and it's harsh
Well, each of us protect ourselves
We're hostage of the past
And it's too far gone
Yeah, it's too far gone
I wonder where did we go wrong
And it's too, too far
And it's too, too far
Too far gone
Let it down, let it down, let it down now
Let it down, let it down, let it down now
I always hate nostalgia
Living in the past
No use getting misty-eyed
It all screamed by so fast
When life was so much calmer
Severely buttoned up
The future rich in promises
Milk flowing from the cup
I would spend those lazy days
Lying on a ridge
Watching girls in cotton dresses
Diving off the bridge
Is it too far gone?
Is it too far gone?
Is it too, too far
Too far gone
This was once the country
Now its all the town
What was once the tallest spire
Is just a building crumblin' down
And I'm living in a factory
That's a million dollar flat
I'm not looking for Arcadia
Cause its never coming back
I would spend my childhood days
Lost in starry dreams
And now watch my children
Just downloading them to screens
Let it down, let it down, let it down
Let it down, let it down, let it down
'Cause it's too far gone
It's too far gone
Yeah, it's too, too far
Too far gone
Let it down, let it down, let it down
I'm lying in the garden
Carpets in the shade
Thinking of the future
And all the love we saved
The world outside is ugly
It's bitter and it's harsh
Well, each of us protect ourselves
We're hostage of the past
And it's too far gone
Yeah, it's too far gone
I wonder where did we go wrong
And it's too, too far
And it's too, too far
Too far gone

I like this song more every time I hear it!!
From what I have heard so far of Mick\'s latest solo stuff, it should have stayed on the cutting room floor.
The only thing that really matters is whether or not this song is any good, the way it\'s performed, produced, etc. Not Mick Jagger\'s age. By the way, not bad at all, this song! Though I don\'t find it appropriate he\'s putting down nostalgia, after making a fortune out of it.

I totally agree!!! I was digging it enough to stop what I was doing and see who it was, but was disappointed that it was Mick. Is it so wrong to want remember him in the context of RS only?
I think this is a pretty good tune. If Mick is still happy making music, then more power to him. Go Mick!
I\'m not a big Mick/stones fan (not that I hate them), but I think this is actually pretty good.

Best tune from his latest CD
Aw, come on Lisa Bisa, Mr. Jagger isn\'t \"Too Far Gone\" yet. I thought this was one of his better ones from his new CD too. Guess the concensus is against me though, the rating has dipped below 5. Oh well.
