oysterband - too late now (1990) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well it’s a nice bit of heritage with an electric gate
you tell her: darling, this is a happy man’s estate
stop and frown now like a good dog bit your hand
all these years and you still don’t understand

[chorus]
that it’s too late now for english roses
too late now for your sunset shires
too late now to chase those milkmaids
too late now to play the squire
too late now for second chances
too late now for a change of heart
too late now
you won’t be needed when this whole thing falls apart
it’s time to go

[verse 2]
ride by the river, blaze away across the moors
you tell the bright young men: you say, all this can be yours
weekend in the country, you can live out on the land
all these years and you still don’t understand

[chorus]
that it’s too late now for boyhood heroes
too late now for your sunset shires
too late now for your tunes of glory
too late now to play the squire
too late now for second chances
too late now for a change of heart
too late now
you won’t be needed when this whole thing falls apart
it’s time to go
can you feel the cold wind blow?
[chorus]
too late now for second chances
too late now for a change of heart
too late now
you won’t be needed when this whole thing falls apart
it’s time to go

[verse 3]
you bought up the props for a world that never was
now there’s holes in the scenery and there’s less and less applause
we are all ungrateful b+st+rds, like a dog that bit your hand
all these years and you still don’t understand

[chorus]
that it’s too late now for grace and favour
too late now for your sunset shires
too late now to play the servants
too late now while you play the squire
too late now for second chances
too late now for a change of heart
too late now
we’ll all die laughing when this whole thing falls apart
it’s too late now

[outro]
we’ll all die laughing when this whole thing falls apart
it’s too late now
too late now
too late now
too late now
too late now (it’s too late, too late now)
too late now (too late now, too late now)
too late now (it’s too late, it’s too late)
too late now (it’s too late, it’s too late now)
too late now
