"Last Of A Dying Breed" lyrics
"Last Of A Dying Breed"
Said you didn't seem to notice
You didn't notice
Even though it changed right before your eyes
Said you didn't have the focus
The only focus
Is swimming against the tide
Out of touch before you know it
You never wanted it more
But you were part of a different time
Generation beat poet
You've outgrown it
Other things on your mind
You're the last of a dying breed
Still with so much to achieve
Trying to breathe new life
Into a dying dream
And you wake up and you feel locked out
To the world you see outside
And the whole thing doesn't make much sense
Beyond the power lines
Paranoia, unemployment
Your idle hands a machine
Replaced only years ago
Tell yourself, oh to enjoy it
Been aiming for it
The fantasy you were sold
You're the last of a dying breed
Find it so hard to believe
That no one cares
Unless they get a piece
And you wake up and you feel uptight
To the world you see outside
And the whole thing doesn't make much sense
Beyond the power lines
You're the last of a dying breed
You're the last of a dying breed
You're the last of a dying breed
You're the last of a dying breed
And you wake up and you feel passed by
The world you see outside
And the whole thing doesn't make much sense
Beyond the power lines
You're the last of a dying breed
You're the last of a dying breed
And someday we will all be
The last of a dying breed

The Jezabels - "Long Highway" You see this writing on the wall
Oh, angel, you see this curtain fall
Good times seem so far away

Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break

Doves - "Kingdom Of Rust" I hear a sound
A sound above my head
Distant sound of thunder
Moving out on the moor
Blackbirds flew in

Waiting for...

Like the arrival of a new day
But a dream like this gets wasted
