Ghosts Lyrics
Once I was a very young man, and very young men are none to clever
Sailed across to faraway lands
And far away towns of tin and terror
Ran amok in a strip called love
Lost my mind in streets of neon
Now I’m coming on back
Help me up move right, left foot forward
Oh we had a merry old time, but merry old times don’t count for nothing
Cocaine, song and women and wine
Memories blur and they make me shudder
Bed in the morning, eight, four, five, couple of days to get my head off
Now I’m coming on back
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho
(Oooo ooo oooooo oooo)
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Far below the shiniest stars, shiniest stars won’t shine for ever
Take your soul and you can go far,
If you don’t fall from grace of favor
Golder weights are those who star
You can take now and I’ll take never
Now I’m coming on back
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghooo Gho Gho
(Oooo ooo oooooo oooo)
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghooo Gho Gho
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Soon I’ll be a very old man, and very old men they dream of summers
Spent with falls in faraway clans
While hometown crowds sing hymns of courage
Ran amok in a strip called love
Lost my mind in the streets of neon
Now I’m coming on back home
Help me up move right left foot forward
Sailed across to faraway lands
And far away towns of tin and terror
Ran amok in a strip called love
Lost my mind in streets of neon
Now I’m coming on back
Help me up move right, left foot forward
Oh we had a merry old time, but merry old times don’t count for nothing
Cocaine, song and women and wine
Memories blur and they make me shudder
Bed in the morning, eight, four, five, couple of days to get my head off
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho
(Oooo ooo oooooo oooo)
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Take your soul and you can go far,
If you don’t fall from grace of favor
Golder weights are those who star
You can take now and I’ll take never
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghooo Gho Gho
(Oooo ooo oooooo oooo)
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghooo Gho Gho
I’m troubled by gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Oooo ooo oooooo oooo
Spent with falls in faraway clans
While hometown crowds sing hymns of courage
Ran amok in a strip called love
Lost my mind in the streets of neon
Now I’m coming on back home
Help me up move right left foot forward

This is a song of regret, he realises he should have done more when he was younger realises what could have been. He defines the sad truth that when we're younger we aren't clever and don't understand what we can do with our lives and it isn't untill we grow older that we realise what we could have bcecome. It's a sad sad truth.
Not really. This is a song of regret, but he regrets the use of drugs. He is stating the situation that he was in such as "Troubled by Ghosts in Heaven" "Lost in the streets of Neon (as neon lights)" etc. The point in this song is to state his regret of being in "Heaven" meaning our world as it is right now and cause of the use of drugs he couldnt do whatever he wanted to do, and now as he grows older he sees how troubled he was.

This song is sung like a sea shanty.
Its about a young man who spends his time like a drunken sailor.
A young man likes to party but sometimes he parties overboard.
Later as an older wiser man, he is haunted by memories of his past.
"Far below the shiniest stars, shiniest stars won’t shine for ever Take your soul and you can go far, If you don’t fall from grace of favor Golden weights are those who star You can take now and I’ll take never"
This verse is advice to a younger person, if you make different choices then you can go far. Now its your time to shine.
Soon he'll be a very old man who dreams of an easier life.
But what does a man have at the end of his time but his memories?
cocaine song and women and WINE memories flood and a make me SHUDDER
other than that, everything looks spot on, so thanks for posting. :)
Oh, sorry, missed some: and very young MEN are none too clever while home town crowds sing HYMNS of courage
This song probably is about to the continued remorse on the choices we made.
