"Fistful Of Nothing" lyrics

I had a fistful of nothing, then the penny dropped
One for my troubles, from the very top
Wise men in bubbles, my to make it pop
What I wouldn't give
What I wouldn't give

The hot getting hotter, isn't easy is it
Sons killing brothers, seems a little twisted
Air by the bottle, now you get the picture
Doesn't matter does it
(Come on)

For the day is long and I just want to live
But the rope that's holding me's about to give
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
And the truth is nothing more if not a bridge
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
This is my purpose now to
This is my purpose now to

Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine

I have a headful of knowledge, never went to school
A life time of promise, in the pity pool
A lie if I'm honest, if I'm honest this is
How philosophical, how philosophical of...
Been there I've done it, up against it all
The wars at the bottom, time to heed its call
Though most can't be bothered
So instead they crawl, doesn't matter does it
(Come on)

For the day is long and I just want to live
But the rope that's holding me's about to give
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
And the truth is nothing more if not a bridge
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
This is my purpose now to
This is my purpose now to

Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine

Take me out and show me where it ends
I have seen it all before my friends
Take me out and tell me where it ends
I have heard it all before my friends

Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head
Are we closer? The beginnings in your head

For the day is long and I just want to live
But the rope that's holding me's about to give
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
And the truth is nothing more if not a bridge
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
This is my purpose now to
This is my purpose now to

Shine
Shine
Shine
