"Days Of Decision" lyrics
"Days Of Decision"
(originally by Phil Ochs)
The shadows of doubt are in many a mind
Looking for an answer that they're never gonna find
But please understand you're running out of time
For these are the days of decision
The games of stalling you cannot afford
Dark is the danger that's knocking on the door
And with far-reaching rockets, say you can't reach anymore
For these are the days of decision
In the face of the people who know they're gonna win
With a strength greater than the power of the wind
You can't stand around when the ice is growing thin
For these are the days of decision
The mobs of anger are roaming the streets
Aiming down at the police on the beach
In town after town, you know it will repeat
For these are the days
Now there's a warning of fire and flood
And there's a warning of the bullet and the blood
For the three bodies buried in the Mississippi mud
Mm mm-hmm, decision
There's a change in the wind and a split in the road
Do what's right so you can do what you are told
The prize to be won will be held up by the bold
Yeah, these are the days of decision
Oh, these are the days of decision

Belle & Sebastian - "Another Day, Another Night" Another day, another night
I spend my life not thinking about you
Another birth, another life
Another world where nobody breathes your name
Another day, another night
Another lifetime thinking about...
Pretenders - "Maybe Love Is In NYC" Standing on a rooftop
Overlooking the park
Eyes are glowing
In the dark
The smell of horses lingers in the air
It feels like something else is out there
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent...
The Jesus And Mary Chain - "April Skies" Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling...
The Housemartins - "Anxious" I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions
But the answers I came up with didn't fit
Some have breakfast in bed some aren't properly fed
The way they talk about it makes me want to...
Nada Surf - "Looking For You" In the middle of a sleepless night
It sneaks in through my window
It takes its time, it stays nearby
'Til I get down to zero
And when I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink
I almost go downstairs...
