Show of Strength

Show of Strength - Echo & The Bunnymen

Realistically

It's hard to dig it all too happily

But I can see

It's not always that real to me

A funny thing

Is always a funny thing

Though sadly things

Just get in the way

Open to suggestion

Falling over questions

Hopefully

But that's as well as maybe

A shaking hand

Won't transmit all fidelity

Your golden smile

Would shame a politician

Typically

I'll apologise next time

Bonds will break and fade

Go snapping all in two

The lies that bind the tie

Come sailing out of you

Realistically

Hard to dig it all too happily

But

I can see

Not always that real to me

A funny thing

Is always a funny thing

And those sadly things

Is always a sadly thing

Bonds will break and fade

A snapping all in two

The lies that bind the tie

Come sailing out of you

A show of strength

Is all you want

You can never set it down

Guts and passion

Those things you can't

Even set down

All those things you think might count

You can't ever set them down

Don't ever set them down

Never set them down

Hey I came in right on cue

One is me and one is you

Hey I came in right on cue

One is me

And one is you
