The Busters - Broken Dreams lyrics

Not too long ago, a century or so Alice was a girl that everybody knew Every man's desire, the talk of the town But look at her face and your face will frown Her beauty is gone, she has become old No more lovers left, she is all alone Walking down the road by the harbour side Normal faces turn getting drunk each night Broken dreams - what has become of you? Time pa**ed by, you've lost your youth and grace Broken dreams - what has become of you? Your beauty is gone, it swept away Look at the mirror, can't be the truth You look at yourself, you're a cheat But who are you cheating? Can't you see anyone but you? It's cold outside, rain is pouring down All her dreams have gone, she has lost her grace Nowhere left to go except port place Where she meets her friend: liquid, tasty and brown No more drinks are spent, no one left to chat She never cared a lot about a broken heart Now she seems to rot, her skin becomes a mess She looks embara**ing in her evening dress Broken dreams - what has become of you? Time pa**ed by, you've lost your youth and grace Broken dreams - what has become of you? Your beauty is gone, it swept away Look at the mirror, can't be the truth You look at yourself, you're a cheat But who are you cheating? Can't you see anyone but you? 3x
