Brutality Of Fact

Howard Jones


Last of the trouble has followed through 
This (?) your potential to 
I've seen your lifeline go out to you 
Sidestepping our convention 

But you always managed to find a way 
to avoid what the negative people say 
The sun will shine on a brighter day 
Stick to your own potential 

Failing hardly seems to bother you 
Winning was a compliment to failure 

A waking Earth is calling you 
Drive all night, you can't sit still 
Here comes the torment that eats inside 
(?) those who wish you well 

The callings strong but how can you hear 
Receivers dead, the transmissions clear 
The Moon will rise in your finest hour 
Lighting our potential 

Caught in perversion of our Human life 
Fall in confusion born of sacrifice 

But you always managed to find a way 
To avoid what the negative people say 
The sun will shine on a brighter day 
When you stick to your own potential 
Failing hardly seems to bother you 
Winning was a compliment to failure 
Failure! 

(Instrumental) 

Failing hardly seems to bother you 
Winning was a compliment to failure 
Failure! 

(Spoken) 
(?) to make a life, Beckon it 
Bodies of great beauty could not surrender 
Their rationality fading in (?) 
The security of sensation 

A historic harlequin (?) harks a mild 
The spirit of radio mortgage 
Holding their pre selection 
In the brutality of fact
