Sweet Endeavour Lyrics by Peter Perrett

How the West Was Won

2017

The light's been dancin' in the street
In case you ever missed a beat of your beatin' heart
The jigsaw pieces next to me are part o' the assembly of a major work of art

When the streets have gone to ruin ? left you in the heart of darkness for a while
To live the life you must be true, don't think about it just do it, been live in denial

It doesn't last forever, it took you for a ride
Life's sweet endeavour, ya' never even tried
Ya' never grabbed the moment, ya' never crossed that bridge
Every time a token of ? the journey made you sick

A light's been dancin' in the street
In case you ever missed a beat of your beatin' heart
The jigsaw pieces that you see are part of the catastrophe of a major work of art

Put it down at immigration differentiation a computer glitch that you're descended from
? the world that brings you sorrow it won't still be here tomorrow
The future's already dead and gone

It doesn't last forever, it took you for a ride
Life's sweet endeavour, ya' never even tried
Ya' never grabbed the moment, ya' never crossed that bridge
Every time a token of ? ya' made you sick

I came here lookin' for true romance
I came here, I found you
I came here again but things have changed in my life
I can't get through the night without you

It doesn't last forever, it took you for a ride
Life's sweet endeavour, ya' never even tried
Ya' haven't grabbed the moment, ya' never crossed that bridge
Every time a token of ? the journey made you sick

It doesn't last forever
It doesn't last forever
It doesn't last forever
Life's sweet endeavour
