The Boomtown Rats — Another Sad Story

Well it's a sad, sad story Johnnie had the right But he never took the chance And it’s all a game So he never showed his hand Or how he played it, the guessing game Same old story Susan's shoes don't fit But she wears them just the same A life in a day But in the end, no love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts desire Your face to face, and back to front And just all smiles That lead nowhere at all Nowhere at all Nowhere at all Another sad, sad story ’Cause Johnnie had the right But he never took the chance And it's an uphill climb One step forward, two steps back Don't look behind, an uphill climb But in the end, no love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts desire Your face to face, and back to front And just all smiles That lead nowhere at all Nowhere at all Nowhere at all Her eyes show the emptiness 'Cause his hands are all alone The killing of mind and soul It's only half of it It's only half of it But in the end, no love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts desire Your face to face, and back to front And just all smiles That lead nowhere at all Nowhere at all Nowhere at all
