Melody threw out all my records
Onto the pavement and the street
Then she went back to Belfast city
Left the broken chords at my feet
So I return to the girl from the movies
But she forgets that I exist
I buy a ticket from her almost every night
Though I've seen everything on the list
Come on and send me on my way
We gotta keep on pushing through
We've got so much more to say
Because what else can we do
My day job still leaves me restless
So they said Jim it's time to go
Maybe you'll be better off playing
In your failing one man band show
But my strings always seem to break
Once a happy song turns to a lie
There are moments I don't know who I am
Being mistaken for another ginger singer guy
'Cause what else can we do?
And some of my friends they left this place
Left the youth and madness we did vow
Built houses worked to pay the bills
There's nothing that could bind us now
And the dark fate swept away
So many heroes and friends we knew
Who crossed starry white plains of salt
What else could they do
But move on... I'm hanging on, moving on, pressing on, moving on... what else can we do?
