workers in their worn-out coats

the girls from Ghent

so quiet and content

this is what we came here for :

a friendly word and a cigarette



cos' it's true what they say

the world just turns around

we'll be happy again

these are the days

we can truly find ourselves



nothing fancy

nothing much

the facts of life

we all come across

when your legs have walked enough

we can ride the shabby city bus



cos' it's true what they say

the world just turns around

we'll be happy again

these are the moments

we just can't live without

these are the moments

we just can't live without



though it's sad

no one's dead just yet (x2)



and it's true what they say

the world just turns around

we'll be happy again

these are the days

we can truly find ourselves



Sunday morning radio

the sun outside nowhere to be seen

skinny girls and bony boys

made up the rules

when we came living here



and it's true what they say

the world just turns around

we'll be happy again

these are the moments

we just can't live without

these are the moments

we just can't live without



though it's sad

no one's dead just yet (x16)
