Monuments For A Dead Century Lyrics - Boo Radleys

And now the dust has settled I'm still left with me 

Still trying to think of what it is I'd like to be 

Always looking for the easy exit out 

Never stopping to wonder why 

Colours faded by the raping of the land 

Colours diluted by the raping of woman 

We celebrate the life and history of man 

How we suffer for all we've achieved 

I've never met you Philip Morris but I know 

You treat me like I was the son you never killed 

I am your servant and yes you have raised me well 

Will you put flowers on my grave 

M.I.L.L.E.N.I.U.M.-I want to spend it with you 

Trying to make some sense of this I can't work it out 

(Nobody lives here anymore) 

A trophy for our new captain who'll blame someone else 

(We should have spent the days on so much more) 

They're building a monument a for a dead century
