"Fall Of 88" Lyrics

I loved you since the day I met you
1988 the Fall
With your tortured soul and all.
You found me charming when I let you
Crush my heart against the wall,
1988 the Fall.

Suddenly one day,
You turned and looked my way.
A felling wind would have had no more impact than
That heavy half a beat of victorious defeat.

At last,
At last my angel falls from grace.
At last,
At last she falls into my arms.
The fall of 88.

It's been ten years or maybe more
Since 1988 the Fall
Not much difference here at all.
You changed your ways with crafty poisons
All that changed is I got tall
1988 the Fall.

Suddenly one day,
Your lips got in my way.
The north face of Everest would be no more severe than
That heavy half a beat of victorious defeat.

At last,
At last my angel falls from grace.
At last,
At last she falls into my arms.
The fall

Here I was born.
And here I died
It was but a moment
For you and you took no notice.
Took no notice.
Took no notice.
Took no notice.

Some friends have died,
And some forgotten.
Howard Biggs and Biggie Smalls,
Love them dearly one and all.
I've been to hell
And branksome with you.
You and me we've seen it all
Since 1988 the Fall.

Hopefully one day,
Before we're old and grey,
You will have felt the crushing weight of 88
The heavy half a beat of victorious defeat.

At last,
At last my angel falls from grace.
At last,
At last my angel falls from grace.
At last,
At last my angel falls from grace.
At last,
At last she falls into my arms
The fall -

Grace, fall on my face
Fell into Grace at the heart of this disgrace.
