The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting
Everlasting

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiving the everlasting
Everlasting

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

Now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

But now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

Average Rating 6.4!?? Such a Great Song Starting with an 8 now  raising up to 9!
Saw the manics play in Singapore a few years ago now and it was outdoor gig and it bucketed it down and this song was magnificent live in the deluge.
I was busy writing something on my computer when this song came on. I was sort of half listening and thought "well, this is the softest Def Leppard song I've ever heard." Oops. 
 cheesy

Not quite, but "Welsh English" in the southern valleys is something totally different to the rest of the English speaking world; and I do have several Welsh friends whose first language is, well,  Welsh.

Croeso
Bittersweet, strangely epic, narrative.

Pretty awful. Sorry.
