We Live As We Dream, Alone - Gang Of Four

Everybody is in too many pieces

No-man's-land surrounds our desires

To crack the shell we mix with others

Some lie in the arms of lovers

The city is the place to be

With no money you go crazy

I need an occupation!

You have to pay for satisfaction

We live as we dream, alone

To crack the shell we mix with the others

Some flirt with fascism

Some lie in the arms of lovers

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

Everybody is in too many pieces

No-man's-land surrounds me!

With no money we’ll all go crazy

(we apologize)

Man and woman need to work

It helps us define ourselves

We were not born in isolation

But sometimes it seems that way

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

The space between our work and its product

Some fall into fatalism

As if it started this way

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

(We live as we dream, alone)

We live as we dream, alone

(We were not born in isolation)

We live as we dream, alone

(But sometimes it seems that way)

(The space between our work and its product)

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

(As if it always must be this way)

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

We live as we dream, alone

(With no money we’ll all go crazy)
