Always Never Now Composer(s): Tim Finn Performer(s): Tim Finn
Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now
It was the best decision he ever made Now he's living with the consequenses He was still a bit green Like a sheep in a ballroom She had the devil in her He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret Fire was a constant theme
Now he's glad that it's over And the horrible feeling's gone away Nothing prepares you He said "I'd do it all again Just to be where I am"
Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now
And it seems so long ago now When he didn't have that peace in himself Two overlapping circles But you can't find the centre in somebody else
And the hardest of hearts Couldn't fail to weep Now he's on his way Throw him a line as he walks to his sleep Now he's on his way
Like the scales on a fish They flash and flicker in the sea But they're dull in the heat of the sun
When his back was to the wall In a dirty bar in London He didn't care about the Beatles She would be angry & frightened He would be hopeless & guilty They had to discover that country for themselves He went through life always Looking to turn it around The only way he can work it Is from the inside Making things happen from within Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now
