It's Alright Lyrics - Singles - Attica Blues

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87 

All those hours spent stargazing in the 

Bastions of the night 

Prancing and the dancing 

As opportunities knocked within celebrity 

Corridors 

I could have been famous you know 

She mutters to her young ones who have heard 

It too many times before 

But it's alright 

Cos that was then and this is now 

It's alright 

Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way 

He stumbles over debris of last night's 

Take-out 

Tasting memories of arms around him 

Not like the nights before 

Things were different then 

Anyway 

It's been a long night out 

But those old moves don't seem to drop the 

Same way they did back then 

But it's alright 

Cos that was then and this is now 

It's alright 

Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way 

He's late, he's late again 

But this time there's no excuse for him to give 

As he approached to find her standing there 

Seems my time with you was spent waiting for the right moment 

Waiting for that break you always went on about 

But no more 'cos to stay... and wait... 

Would mean our lives will never change 

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87 

All those hours spent stargazing in the 

Bastions of the night 

But it's alright 

But it's alright 

But it's alright 

But it's alright...
