Dave Songtext
von The Boomtown Rats

Dave′d called me up yesterday
Everything he loved had moved away
I felt despair come crawling through that phone
I know the feeling but don't get me wrong
Dave I′ve always thought that you were touched by fate
It's never easy but why throw it away?
Maybe you were both chasing this
Flirt with death but never kiss her
Dave
Dave
Dave
Dave
Oh, I keep dreaming, I'll set the scene
So what′s a fiver? Why so mean?
The golden moment, the blinding gleam
It′s all over, that's too cheap
Dave
Dave
Dave
Dave


And Dave I see you bleed
I know you feel the squeeze
But please, believe
The view from on your knees deceives
Keep going
Dave
Dave
Dave
I know you′re empty, I know you're numb
(Keep going, keep going)
And you can′t function, I know that you're drunk
(Keep going, keep going)
But Dave I′ve always felt that you were touched by fate
The thing that gets me is the stupid waste
So pick it up and don't put it down
A newer story in another town
I see you bleed
I know you feel the squeeze
Time heals, believe
Then it will seem you dreamed these things long ago
Dave

(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
(Keep going, keep going) Dave
