Gone - Benjamin Clementine
I remember walking down the A406
Holding bags of mother sent cornflakes
Guessing somebody might have noticed
A little boy big head small ears
Whilst making a ballad
Through a Sunday mist
Sure we've all been there done it
Prepare a little time to reminisce
On all that eventually
Fally into nothingness
Oh all will be gone
After all
Before we all get to the knowing
All will be gone
I went back to where life
Seemed promising at first
Gambling on memory's lane
I tried a trip
Through all the pavements and fields
But I lost 'cause all had changed
Like the road I used to cross to school
Is now full of prositutes
No wonder why the priest is dead
No wonder why the priest is dead
Oh brother when did you get married
Neighbours where did you vanish to
If it was to a wonderland
Well it's not known to my kind
Mankind
All will be gone
After all
Before we all get to the knowing
All will be gone
And what about relationship
What is it about relationships
That we just don't get
Here we are always thinking
We've learnt
Only to get smacked
And realize we are
But mere students of life
And feels like
We've been fighting a lost battle
To have always realize
At the end on it all
It feels like
We've been brought
To a royal banquet
Just to be served a brew
And a wretched floor
But I say
I say
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
All because I'm here now
I can't go back it's too late
And so I will get it all going
Whilst it all gets lost and gone
