Always Never Now Lyrics - Singles - Finn Tim

(Tim Finn) 

Once he thought it was forever 

but it's always never now 

It was the best decision that he ever made 

Now he's living with the consequences 

he was still a bit green 

like a sheep in a ballroom 

She had the devil in her 

He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret 

Fire was a constant theme 

Now he's glad that it's over 

And the horrible feelings gone away 

Nothing prepares you 

He said "I'd do it all again 

just to be where I am" 

Once he thought it was forever 

but it's always never now 

Once he thought it would last forever 

but it's always never now 

And it seems so long ago now 

when he didn't have tha peace in himself 

Two overlapping circles 

but you can't find the centre in somebody else 

And the hardest of hearts 

couldn't fail to weep 

Now he's on his way 

Throw him a line as he walks in his sleep 

Now he's on his way 

Like the scales on a fish 

They flash and flicker in the sea 

but they're dull in the heat of the sun 

When his back was to the wall 

in a dirty bar in London 

He didn't care about the Beatles 

She would be angry & frightened 

He would be hopeless & guilty 

They had to discover that country for themselves 

He went through life always 

looking to turn it around 

The only way he can work it 

is from the inside 

making things happen from within 

Once he thought it was forever 

But it's always never now
