Lyrics Marillion – Icon

Even if the good old days were good
Even if the old days were golden days
Even if the good old days were good
The past is a terrible place

Computer games
Pretty faces
Loaded with life
Loaded with live ammunition

Even if the good old days were good
The past is a terrible place
The past is a terrible place to live

Saving up for Linda
Saving up for Pam
Saving up for Naomi
Icon therefore I am
Saving up for Mary
Saving up for Jane
A thousand pieces all over the room
Let’s do it all again
Icon therefore I am

Loaded with dreams
Loaded with life
I’m loaded with live ammunition
Loaded with dreams
Loaded with stories

I only wish I knew you
How hard it is for me to spare
This kind of thing for you
If you sense a smokescreen here
A trick of dry ice
A trick of the dry eyes
