Gone

Gone - Benjamin Clementine

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 brought

To a royal banquet

Just to be served a brew

And a wretched floor

But I say

I say

It doesn't matter anymore

It doesn't matter

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
