Lyrics for Gone

I remember walking down the A406 Holding bags of mother sent cornflakes Guessing somebody might have noticed A little boy big head small ears Whilst making a ballad through a Sunday mist Sure we've all been there, done it Prepare a little time to reminisce On all that eventually fally into nothingness Oh, all will be gone After all Before we all get to the knowing All will be gone I went back to where life seemed promising at first Gambling on memory's lane I tried a trip through all the pavements and fields But I lost cause all had changed Like the road I used to cross to school Is now full of prositutes No wonder why the priest is dead No wonder why the priest is dead Oh brother, when did you get married? Neighbours, where did you vanish to? If it was to a wonderland, Well, it's not known to my kind, mankind All will be gone After all Before we all get to the knowing All will be gone And what about relationship? What is it about relationships that we just don't get? Here we are always thinking we've learnt Only to get smacked and realize we are But mere students of life And feels like We've been fighting a lost battle To have always realize at the end on it all It feels like We've been throught to a royal banquet, Just to be served a brew and a wretched floor But I say It doesn't matter anymore, It doesn't matter All because I'm here now I can't go back, it's too late And so i will get it all going Whilst it all gets lost and gone.
