A Day Late, A Dollar Short Lyrics
Late at night as I lay down to sleep
I think of all the secrets people keep
like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too
or is it something we have to resume
We're just two people watching time fly by
In a world in it's obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own
'cos no one saves the day
it's no one else's fault
if you're a day late or dollar short
Just think about how lovely life could be
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we're too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
We're all just lonely people
Only dyin' to fall in love
Feelings that we thought
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
All the loneliness, the blues
Feelings so distraught
When you're a day late or a dollar short
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
And no one saves the day
It's no one else's fault
When you're a day late or a dollar short
I think of all the secrets people keep
like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too
or is it something we have to resume
In a world in it's obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own
it's no one else's fault
if you're a day late or dollar short
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we're too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?
That we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
Only dyin' to fall in love
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
Feelings so distraught
When you're a day late or a dollar short
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
It's no one else's fault
When you're a day late or a dollar short

how has nobody commented on this song? it's so great. its about liking someone and not telling them, and then regretting it after they're gone. i can relate all too well
This song is definately also about the band itself: Hanoi Rocks - their broken dream from the 1980's.
