Lyrics Chris Rea – Legacy Blues

Pick up the pieces and start again
No one remembers why or when
Nothing got done, nothing was saved
Hope was deleted and put back in it’s grave

Stage-managed show-biz
Chocked whatever was true
Nobody bought it
‘Cause everyone knew

Tears on the bank-cars
Blood on the ground
Whatever was promised
Nothing was found

Now you’re leaving us behind
With nothing to choose
Please spare us your excuses
And your legacy blues

Making life better
Was never the game
It was beating each other
Till you all looked the same

There’s still fear on the high street
Blood on the wall
Now you say that you’re leaving
And we must pay for it all

Now you’re leaving us behind
With nothing to choose
Please spare us your excuses
And your legacy blues

Your legacy blues
Your legacy blues
