Half Day Closing Lyrics - Portishead - Portishead

In the days of golden days 

When everybody knew what they wanted 

It ain't here today 

Through the times of lasting love 

When parents talked of things tried and tested 

It don't feel the same 

Dreams and belief have gone 

Time, life itself goes on 

Far beyond the shrinkin' skies 

Where money talks but leaves us hypnotized 

Don't pave the way 

Underneath the faded sun 

The silent sum of the business man 

Has left us chokin' 

Dreams and belief have gone 

Time, life itself goes on 

In the days of golden days 

When everybody knew what they wanted 

It ain't here today 

Dreams and belief have gone 

Time, life itself goes on
