Lyric Association Part V

All and all it's been a blast
But fame and fortune never lasts
So, we'll take refuge in the sound
They burned our churches to the ground

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun

We may have sold our very souls
The ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice

They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
They can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun

The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky and multiplies
They bind up souls to fill their holes
We know the one thing they don't know

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun

But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine on the sun, the sun, the sun

'They Cant Buy The Sunshine' - Turin Brakes

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

"Shine on You Crazy Diamond", the Floyd

I wondered today to the hill Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the old rusty mill Maggie
Where we sat in the long long ago
The green grove is gone from the hill Maggie
Where the birds sang loud from the trees
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me

But now we are aged and old Maggie
The trails of life nearly done
Lets sing of the days that are gone Maggie
When you and I were young

Our dreams they have never come true Maggie
Our hopes they never were to be
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The green grove is gone from the hill Maggie
Where once the wild flowers sprang
The old rusty mill is now still Maggie
Since you and I were young

But now we are aged and old Maggie
The trails of life nearly run
Lets sing of the days that are gone Maggie
Since you and I were young
