The Swimming Pool Q's - The Common Years lyrics

Desert plain contains the flame Land boom, so why complain Cry wolf and no one scares These are surely some common years I'd cry myself every time she'd speak Hope to die such was her mystique Now she tries and falls to hold back her tears Say goodbye to our common years We had everything In our memory We had everything But we just couldn't see We had everything In what the future was supposed to be We had everything Everything True love within our scope Is this romantic hope? A schoolboy's dream That no one shares? I'm holding out for the common years I'm looking out the window of a German car I'm looking through the prism of a cracked fruit jar I'm halfway laughing at all these fears And the things that we all gotta face And I'm looking out the window at the common years Going someplace Going someplace Going someplace Going someplace These are surely some common years These are surely some common years Going someplace Going someplace
