fade away i don t want to

Chumbawamba

Some set their hearts on a rocking chair
The better to sleep out the days
But I m looking for a reason to kick and scream
I don t want to fade away
Fade away, fade away
I don t want to fade away
We think that the power is in our hands
Cos we re holding the remote control
Pile up the lot and what ve you got?
Bitter-sweet nothing at all
It s a mighty long way from my own front door
To the world we were going to make
We got bloodied and bruised for the old excuse
That it s hard just staying awake
Wake me up if you catch me falling
Gently into the night
Shine up my shoes cos I can t get used
To the dying of the light
Some set their hearts on a rocking chair
The better to sleep out the days
But I m looking for a reason to kick and scream
I don t want to fade away
Fade away, fade away
I don t want to fade away
