The Jam - Absolute Beginners lyrics

In echoed steps i walked across an empty dream I looked across this world, there was no one to be seen This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes I stared a century thinking this will never change As i hesitated, time rushed onwards without me Too scared to break the spell too small to take a fall But the absolute luck is - love is in our hearts! I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what i want I lost a lifetime thinking of it An' lost an era daydreaming like i do In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream But look around this world, there's millions to be seen Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is in our hearts! I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what i want I lost a lifetime thinking of it An' lost an era daydreaming like i do You can lose some hours thinking of it You need the strength to go and get what you want You can lose a lifetime thinking of it And lose an era daydreaming like i do
