Lyrics

From the album slow down world

Tonight my life is heavy, I'm weak and down at heel
The prisoner in the dungeon will know just how I feel
I'm a well known has-been, a well known has-been
I've got a brand on me
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see
How sad my disposition, how long can it I bear ?
How deep my melancholy, can anybody care ?
For the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I've got a brand on me, yeah
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see
Well known has-been
Well known has-been
Well known has-been, ooh, ooh, ooh
I pretend I'm unaffected by the chains that bear me down
And when only those who love me can see behind the frown
I'm the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I got a brand on me
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see
≫from these broken days of anguish, some day soon I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna raise my head to heaven, I'm gonna fly the starry skies
And the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I'll lose the brand on me, yeah
Today's all I see, today's all I see, today's all I see
