I Remember (death In The Afternoon) Lyrics - Ultravox

We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed, we don't know why 

We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by 

We flicked through photographs we had, somehow they made us sad 

Remembering the times we used to have, it made us cry 

Oh I remember death in the afternoon 

A silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm 

The lovers and the friends all felt the same, it kept us warm 

We raised our glass and drank to times we had, but'd see no more 

The pictures of the past would haunt us still, and there remains 

Oh I remember death in the afternoon
