RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA
RE SIm SOL LA
How are things in your little world, I hope they're going well and you
are too
RE SIm SOL LA
Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every
Friday?
RE SIm
I'm really sorry that I can't be there
SOL LA
But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand
RE SIm
Things are really taking off for me
SOL LA SIm
Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE
And in any case, it wouldn't be the same
SIm RE SIm RE
Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives
SIm RE SIm RE
And the values that we had once upon a time
SIm LA
Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid
SIm LA SIm LA RE
And some bonds severed and others made
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do
RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA
RE SIm SOL LA
Now I don't want you to get me wrong, ideals are fine when you are young
RE SIm SOL LA
SIm
And I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE
Cos the burning sky keeps a burning bright
SIm RE SIm RE
And as long as it does, and it always will
SIm RE SIm RE
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls
SIm LA
And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough
SIm LA SIm LA RE
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE
SIm LA RE
Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit
dit di do
SIm LA
And it's only us realists who are gonna come through
SIm LA
Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth
SIm LA RE SIm LA RE RE SIm LA RE SIm LA RE SIm LA
RE SIm LA
And that's the burning sky, it's the burning sky
Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off I've got a meeting
next week
With the head of a big corporate
I can't disclose who but I'm sure you all know him and
And the burning sky keeps a burning bright
And it won't turn off til it's had enough
It's the greedy bastard who won't give up
And you're just a dreamer if you don't realise
And the sooner you do will be the better for you
And then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
And we'll all bow down to the burning sky
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do, dit dit dit dit do n do
Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit
dit di do
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
And together we will live beneath the burning sky
