Bugle Boy (Live) Lyrics by The The

The Comeback Special

2021

The country is riddled with social ills and aches
But my heart is calmed by her embrace
I'm trying to tell something to the world
But my words are slurred and slow
Have you ever been caught up in a dream
Where your legs were froze?
I was trapped between my thoughts and my guitar
But it felt helpless like the desire of the moth
For the star

Sometimes nothing seems unreal
This strange little boy said
"Mister, play us your guitar" and I said, "No, I can't"
And put my guitar back in the car
Listening to thе music of Heaven and Earth
Have you еver thought you were the most important thing in the universe?
Should I strengthen my weaknesses or play to my strengths?
Yeah, I was trapped in the triviality of everydayness

I said, "There's magic in my head, girl
I only use it when I'm depressed"
I don't suppose she heard me
She was too busy admiring her dress
She said I was pretentious
I said just young and well-intentioned

Who can save us now? The world rots
Who can save us now? The world rots
Who can save us now? The world rots
Who can save us now? The world rots

Well, I did know the secret of the universe
Only I forgot
