Chumbawamba - Fade Away (I Don't Want To) lyrics

Some set their hearts on a rocking chair The better to sleep out the days But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream I don't want to fade away Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away We think that the power is in our hands 'Cos we're holding the remote control Pile up the lot and what've you got? Bitter-sweet nothing at all It's a mighty long way from my own front door To the world we were going to make We got bloodied and bruised for the old excuse That it's hard just staying awake Wake me up if you catch me falling Gently into the night Shine up my shoes 'cos I can't get used To the dying of the light Some set their hearts on a rocking chair The better to sleep out the days But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream I don't want to fade away Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away
