Half Day Closing (Live at Roseland Ballroom, NYC) Lyrics by Portishead

Roseland NYC Live 25 (25th Anniversary Edition)

1997

[Verse 1]
In the days of golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
Through the times of lasting love
When parents talked of things tried and tested
It don't feel the same
[Chorus]
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
[Verse 2]
Far beyond the shrinking skies
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized
It don't pave the way
Underneath the fading sun
The silent sum of a businessman
Has left us choking
[Chorus]
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
[Bridge]
In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
[Chorus]
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
