[00:00.00]A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council
[00:15.40]I bought the paper yesterday
[00:18.25]And I saw the obituary
[00:21.77]And I read of how you died in pain
[00:25.15]Well I just couldn't understand it
[00:29.33]If I could of changed that
[00:32.18]Then Lord knows I'd do it now
[00:35.66]But there is no going back
[00:39.20]And what's done is done forever
[00:45.40]But you were always chained
[00:48.36]And shackled by the dirt
[00:52.16]Of every small town institution
[00:55.23]And every big town flirt
[01:12.74]And I think of what you might have been
[01:15.86]A man of such great promise
[01:19.35]Oh but you seem to forget the dream
[01:22.80]And the more you saw you hated
[01:26.67]But let's not talk of blame
[01:29.82]For what is only natural
[01:33.55]Like a moth going to a flame
[01:37.12]You had a dangerous passion
[01:43.21]But you were always chained
[01:46.17]And shackled by the dirt
[01:50.04]Of every small town institution
[01:53.06]And every big town flirt
[01:57.06]All the things that you might have been
[02:00.15]But who am I to say
[02:03.07]Still I wonder
[02:04.80]If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay
[02:11.94]If it's the cold earth you prefer to stay
