PHOTOGRAPHS OF OLD
(Music by Marc Traynor/ Words by Steve McAndrew)

Verse 1
the latest promise made with time will fade
like photographs of old
for now, the price we pay is off display,
though many bars of gold
there's no point thinking all this pain will go away
no matter what the politicians say
there is a cross to bear, though gross unfair
this scene is in the play

Verse 2
the weather's changing, rearranging
history feeds on what has gone
now the coldest, now the hottest, now the wettest, clouds move on
the picture's bigger than the fishbowl we're all in
sitting comfortably, then we'll begin
the latest statute made with time will fade
like photographs of old

Middle 8
we seize the moment that we know must soon let go
all good things they never pass too slow
beyond this moment is another just the same
although it's hidden content we don't know
the latest error made with time will fade
like photographs of old

Verse 3
it's so much cleaner, so much greener,
awareness rising all the time
the picture captured then remastered
pixels stray across the line
the golden days, the darkroom bathed in scarlet light
replaced by black, considered the new white
the latest contact made with time will fade
tike photographs of old

Out
the latest contract made with time will fade
like photographs of old

the latest lyric made with time will fade
like photographs of old

the latest scandal made with time will fade
today's new centrefold
