Burning Sky (Band Demo Version) ​The Jam

How are things in your little world?
I hope they're going well and you are too
Do you still see the same old crowd?
The ones who used to meet every Friday?
I'm really sorry that I can't be there
But work comes first, I'm sure you'll understand
Things are really taking off for me
Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and

And in any case, it wouldn't be the same
'Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives
And the values that we had once upon a time
Seem stupid now 'cause the rеnt must be paid
And some bonds sevеred and others made

Now I don't want you to get me wrong
Ideals are fine when you are young
And I must admit we had a laugh
But that's all it was and ever will be 'cause

'Cause the burning sky keeps burning bright
And as long as it does and it always will
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls
And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow
