Now And Then
UB40 Song Lyrics

Artist: UB40
Album: Promises And Lies (1993)

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be.

To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery.

Now and then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than simple words, so I can say
I'm quite content and happy being me.

Walking tall with peace of mind
To leave no childhood dreams behind
Arriving home to always find
Things just as I know they ought to be.

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery.

Now and then
I wake up, when it hits me like a ton of bricks
I realise it's me who has to take the licks
No angels up there looking after me
No rainbow with a pot of gold
No cloak to shield me from the cold
No pill to stop me growing old
Dreams fading into stark reality.
