Lyrics - Paper Ladder
| I don't recall a day I ever laughed when I was young Never played the hero, never had my praises sung Settled on a future nestled in a cosy home A nightmare calm imbalance in the welfare of the telephone |
|
| I try to climb the paper ladder Broken every step I'm ascending to the ground (ground) |
|
| I don't recall a time I ever saw a smiling face Cannot bring to mind the moment that was saved by grace Any news is bad news invading on my radio Everyone that came on christened with a tale of woe |
|
| I save myself on creature comforts With an open mind I am waiting Here I go, here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go |
|
| I'm switching from the tragic, I'm leaving all the past behind I'll conjure up the magic to fight the matter with the mind Throw away the shrouds, uncover any mystery (rearranging) Look out world I'm coming to penetrate your sanctuary |
|
| I've broken down the walls that held me Opened all the doors I am ready Here I go, here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go, go, here I go, go, here I go, go, here I go Here I go, go, here I go, go, here I go Here I go..... |

This was Ant's on the attack of the ambivalence that was around in the mid-80s.
