歌曲歌詞
Well I find myself in reverie
'Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long long time ago
It was way back in '76
Our friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in Mathew Street
Where we heard something that would set us free
A sign stands over a door it says
Four lads who shook the world
In the depths of those heady nights
We would dream of those bright lights
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
And my friend John he went away
He made some mistakes
Spent time in Walton jail
And now when I see him we still talk
But there's no light shining in his eyes
And Susie she was seventeen
And more beauty in this world
I swear you'll never see
I was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world
And work wasn't so hard to find
You would not be going your way
I would not be going mine
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh oh the spirit of '76
And Pete has seen his dreams come true
But that don't make him no hero
He's just one of the lucky few
If a man can't change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fail
I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
I will never give in until the day I die
I get myself some independence
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Oh life is cruel and so unkind
Oh oh the spirit of '76
Mersey lights shine in the distance
Same as they did for us then
Mersey lights shine bright in the distance
Where are you now my friend
You see some nights when I can't sleep
I still think of you
And all the promisesall our dreams we shared
I know those lights still call to you
I can hear them now
I can hear them now
Still shining for us
Let 'em shine
Can you hear them
Can you hear them
Lights are still shining
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Oh life is cruel and so unkind
Oh oh
Where's it gone
The spirit of '76
