Missing Beats (of a Generation)

The Charlatans


When You were young
You were
The first to crash
and burn
That's an illu
sion for the world to see

Now We don't look
the same
maybe it's D.
N.A.
I can't change You and You You can't change me

Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations

Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations

When You were just
sixteen
You were the one
for me
I can't recall us getting too much sleep

Now We are not
the same
maybe it's D.
N.A.
I can't change You and You You can't change me

Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations

Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations

When You were young
You were
the first to crash
and burn
That's an illu
sion for the world to see

Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations

Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations

Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations

Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations

On and on, and on, and on,
the more We know the less We glow
I never thought
You would look so old

On and on, and on, and on,
the more We know the less You go
I never thought
You would look so old
