Joe Jackson
The Old Songs

There goes another one
Another happy couple on the road to emptiness
I think of my father and mother
Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess

But the old songs say, "Love's forever"
And the old songs never say die
But a song can't keep us together
How can that beautiful song be a lie

Me, I blame the old songs
Filling hearts with rebellion and romance
Our book of revelations
And all we had to do was dance

Play us another one
Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago
They're all over the bloody radio
It's like they're telling us there's nowhere left to go

And the old songs say, "Be my baby"
And the old songs say, "She loves you"
All the songs well sing come what may be
I like those songs but I'd like something new

Me, I blame the old songs
Protect us all against a change of course
All our great expectations
Turn to alimony and remorse


Mirror lyrics:

Turn to alimony and remorse
All our great expectations
Protect us all against a change of course
Me, I blame the old songs

I like those songs but I'd like something new
All the songs well sing come what may be
And the old songs say, "She loves you"
And the old songs say, "Be my baby"

It's like they're telling us there's nowhere left to go
They're all over the bloody radio
Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago
Play us another one

And all we had to do was dance
Our book of revelations
Filling hearts with rebellion and romance
Me, I blame the old songs

How can that beautiful song be a lie
But a song can't keep us together
And the old songs never say die
But the old songs say, "Love's forever"

Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess
I think of my father and mother
Another happy couple on the road to emptiness
There goes another one
