Monuments Songtext

Baby answers
From the chancers
In the streets
All paved with gold
Interpretations
In the stations
From the insight
Of our youth

I don′t know where to sway
When things go wrong
I know I'm self-assured
But I′m not
A featherweight will weigh you down


People chanting
It's a landslide
On the streets
All paved with mud
Interruptions
At the junctions
Blue and red
Won't mix sublime

They don′t know what to say
When things go wrong
They know they′re self-assured
But I'm not
A featherweight will weigh them down

But you know it′s not right now
And you know that it's time for change
Everything is so clear now
Are you gonna make the Marble Arch?

See the future
Mother nature
On the ground of silent skies
Make the choices
With the voices
Left beneath the weary smile


I don′t know where to sway
When things go wrong
I know I'm self-assured
But I′m not
A featherweight will weigh you down

But you know it's not right now
And you know that it's time for change
Everything is so clear now
Are you gonna make the Marble Arch?

In ′85 there were miners in the sky
Looking down on that blue velvet way
Same as today
Though the minors are now just the young
Inside the house
And the alleyways of truth
With the promises promised to us
Stray led astray
By the protesting jeer from the start
Ah

But you know it′s not right now
And you know that it's time for change
Everything is so clear now
Are you gonna make the Marble Arch?

But you know it′s not right now
And you know that it's time for change
Everything is so clear now
Are you gonna make the Marble Arch?
