legacy blues

chris rea

pick up the pieces and start again

no one remembers why or when

nothing got done

nothing was saved

hope was deleted and put back in it's grave

stage-managed show-biz

chocked whatever was true

nobody bought it

'cause everyone knew

tears on the bank-cars

blood on the ground

whatever was promised

nothing was found

now you're leaving us behind

with nothing to choose

please spare us your excuses

and your legacy blues

making life better

was never the game

it was beating each other

till you all looked the same

there's still fear on the high street

blood on the wall

now you say that you're leaving

and we must pay for it all

now you're leaving us behind

with nothing to choose

please spare us your excuses

and your legacy blues

your legacy blues

your legacy blues

your legacy blues

your legacy blues
