"If Only '88" lyrics

Forgive me this idle repetition
But I'm not stirred by this competition
Too soft to be unmoved
But enough is enough
I have the power to do whatever I choose

Anything on offer is forbidden
Oh, I disgust myself, I'm too all-forgiving
What's enjoyment? What is perfection?
Well, you lose sight of yourself
Your failing powers of recollection

Tomorrow's just one day away
And I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever

Done up already, dance

Why is it essential to be calm, collected?
You all have crosses to bear
But do you all have to be resurrected?
Yes, I'm sure and I try to believe
Still I want, still I want
Still I want more than you would give to me

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away
And I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever

Tomorrow's just one day away
And I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever

Together, whatever, however, forever
Forever, ever, ever, and ever
Oh, forever
Forever
And ever
