Jack Bruce - Facelift 318 lyrics

318 it's a house in a street with a promise
Like you’ve never seen 318
It's a place in the sun
With the people who run through the dream

318 it's escape from the cage
When the pickings start to get too lean
Really clean it’s a new lease of life
And the money makes the knife real keen
They say you can forget about the future
Everything will be fine well, more or less
And you will never have to fear tomorrow
If you just sign away your consciousness

318 now the mirror is red
And the pool is slowly turning green
Soothing cream i know some of my parts
Are the start of someone else's scheme

They say that you lose all your inhibitions
Everything will be cool if you can come
And you will always find the right position
If you just read the writing back to front
And you will never have to beg or borrow
If you just hide away your restlessness

You're sick and tired of the
Way time is going
And nothing comes out right although you try
Need to reverse the way your body's growing
You've got to stop the way life passes by
You've got a mortgage on your desperation
And love just slips away
Leaves you the bills
You know you're coming to that final station
Beyond the trees you see the hills
