The Sisters of Mercy
Good Things
[Verse 1]
The cracks appear along
The wall, wall, wall, wall, wall
See the people stoop back
Once stood tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
I see the buildings crumble
See the empires fall
But I see no more
And I don't recall
[Chorus]
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good, good, good
Nothing but the good things
[Verse 2]
Well, nothing ventured, nothing lost
Count the changes, count the cost
A reformation so uncertain
Keep your station, draw the curtain
Because out there, the snipers work the ridges
Building bombs and blowing bridges
Out there on a darkened road
The lines are dead, and the cars explode
[Chorus]
But in here
There's nothing but those good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good, good, good, good, good
Nothing but the good things
[Verse 3]
I see a green sea
A pleasant land, land, land, land, land
Nothing legal
Underhand
On the fence
Or in the sand
Well, I take no chances
And I take no stand
[Bridge]
Against the wall
Against the wire
Against the fall
Against the fire
Against the sale
Against the hire
They say the profits high
But I know the cost is higher
[Chorus]
Still, I see
Nothing but the good things
Still, I see
Nothing but the good things
Still, I see here, see, do, talk, see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good, good, good, good, good
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good, good, good, good things
[Outro]
No!
