The Swing Of Things Lyrics
They say the world's an eventful place
You give me news I don't want to know
You say that I should care
That I should speak my mind
Oh, but how can I speak
Of the world rushing by
With a lump in my throat
And tears in my eyes
Have we come to the point
Of no turning back
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
Let us walk through this windless city
I'll go on till the winter gets me
"Sleep", you wrote, "sleep, my dear"
In a letter somewhere
Oh, but how can I sleep with your
Voice in my head
And an ocean between us
And room in my bed
Have I come to the point
Where I'm losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
And when she glows in the dark
And I'm weak by the sight
Of this breathtaking beauty
In which I can hide
There is a worldful out there
Of people I fear
But given time I'll get into
The swing of things
Yes, when she glows in the dark
And I'm struck by the sight
I know that I'll need this
For the rest of my life
What have I done
What lies I have told
I've played games with the ones
That rescued my soul
Have I come to the point
Where I'm losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
You give me news I don't want to know
You say that I should care
That I should speak my mind
Of the world rushing by
With a lump in my throat
And tears in my eyes
Have we come to the point
Of no turning back
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
I'll go on till the winter gets me
"Sleep", you wrote, "sleep, my dear"
In a letter somewhere
Voice in my head
And an ocean between us
And room in my bed
Have I come to the point
Where I'm losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
And I'm weak by the sight
Of this breathtaking beauty
In which I can hide
There is a worldful out there
Of people I fear
But given time I'll get into
The swing of things
Yes, when she glows in the dark
And I'm struck by the sight
I know that I'll need this
For the rest of my life
What lies I have told
I've played games with the ones
That rescued my soul
Have I come to the point
Where I'm losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things

Hey dude. Thanks for the heads up about YouTube. Is it just 80s stuff? If I go take a look, Im not gonna be looking at pages and pages of parasites making "reaction" videos to am I?
Anyone who comments continually while watching TV by themselvs should be avoided. And those that sit watching something with their mouth open, going "Oh MY God", while nothing is happening. They should be thrown in the sea.
