The Difference Lyrics by Billy Liar

The Ghosts Of Punk Rock

0

You say that you feel trapped, suffocated by the city's skyline
And you just can't relax, well, I'm inclined to disagree
You see, you and me, we see things differently
And the smoke and the smog in the city streets, are what remind my heart to beat

I see romance in the rooftops, beauty in the billboards
The industrial age seems like the glory days, the golden age
But you long for the trees, the hills and the mountain top to take your breath away and make your heart stop
Far away from freezing on a park bench, waiting for the landlord's knock

To you the grass is always greener, than concrete blocks and cold brick walls
You're more inspired by the rivers than shopping malls and toilet stalls
It never meant much to me, I'd trade a beautiful view for graffiti
But that's the difference, between you and me

These city streets where beggars sleep
Are where my heart lies and what remind it to beat
These city streets ruled by liars, thieves and cheats
Are where the sunrise looks most beautiful to me, most beautiful to me

To you the grass is always greener, than concrete blocks and cold brick walls
You're more inspired by the rivers than shopping malls and toilet stalls
It never meant much to me, I'd trade a beautiful view for graffiti
But that's the difference, between you and me

And that's the difference, between you and me
