featuring Annie Lennox

All our lives we've dreamed about it

Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain't no great Valhalla
Coming closer each turn of the wheel

Forlorn, adrift on seas of beige
In this our Golden Age


Even in our darkest hour
Never thought that it could get so bad
Bullied, suckered, pimped and patronised

Every day your tawdry little lives
So loose your head
And step within

The silence deafening

Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam ahead


In and out of consciousness
It breaks my heart to see you like this

Crying, wringing hands and cursing fate
Always so little far too late
It's 3am I'm wide awake

There's still one call to make

Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming

But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming
But still running full steam
Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam
Now you

And I
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you
And I
We all saw it coming

But we still bought it
