about

I still don't agree with the idea to value artistic quality by sales figures. Some people do. Sometimes it's inevitable to just quit with them.

lyrics

would you take me on a journey
through your crooked mind
that might give me some enlightment
for i suppose that i was blind

i still think there are excuses
maybe something that i missed
when we built our little castle
on a toyground out of sand
on that rocky road to fame
when things got slightly
out of hands

yes I've seen it all a-coming
just before it hit the fan
ignored all of the warnings
when those dark clouds did appear
diving head on into trouble
in a most unpleasant year
in a most unpleasant year

I should have known the crop we earned
after years of sweat and toil
those few shiny nuggets that
we scraped out of the soil

they'd be gone just before sunrise
leaving just a bitter taste
of endless fights and disappointment
and a hundred broken dreams
and half a lifetime
we did waste

yes I've seen it all a-coming
I'm not angry anymore
I'm happy that your greedyness
did help to close the door
it helped to close the door

I'm not angry anymore
