about

Stripped back version of Clouds Behind The Moon

lyrics

We were thirteen I was seven days older than you
Remember the day when your brother first played us The Who
With two jacks in the walkman for the rest of the week we bunked school

And none of this mattered then
We'd stay out as the days turned to night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon

First we tried weed then we drank and took speed like you do
Then as we got older we would hang out in clubs with a crew
They'd kick out at 3 in the morning, we'd still be looking for something to do

And none of this mattered then
We'd stay out for the rest of the night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon

No none of this mattered then
We'd stay out for the rest of the night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon

Don't be afraid of your freedom the DJ would play
But if we wanna be free to do what we want to do well I say
Be very afraid of your freedom and fuckers who want to take it away

30 days on now and I'm seven days older than you
And you no longer respect my right to think different to you

Is this how it has to end
Everyone being forced to take sides
Can't you just gaze at the stars
While I look for the clouds behind the moon

No none of this mattered then
We'd stay out as the days turned to night
You'd gaze at the stars
While I'd look for the clouds behind the moon

Don't Get Fooled again
Don't Get Fooled again
Don't Get Fooled again
We wont Get Fooled again
