Powerplay - Scars on 45

The city’s calling, the city’s calling me home

The lines and creases around my eyes, how they’ve grown

I’m singing stories about the twenty-odd years before the fall

And looking back I see they’re the happiest times of all

I’ll be there through fading colours

I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day

I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now

I’ll carry you home now

I’ll be there in your golden summers

I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break

So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay

I’ve heard a silence, I’ve heard a silence cut through

Between opinions that left me broken and bruised

We stole the shadows and then we danced in the dark upon the shore

Now looking back I see no one ever could love me more

I’ll be there through fading colours

I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day

I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now

I’ll carry you home now

I’ll be there in your golden summers

I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break

So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay

I’ll always be your powerplay

Tide turns with western weather

Fire burns but the smoke, it fills your lungs

Be there to get your things together

And be the parachute, the parachute to stop your fall

Tide turns with western weather

Fire burns but the smoke

Now the past don’t mean a thing to us anymore

I’ll be there through fading colours

I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day

I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now

I’ll carry you home now

I’ll be there in your golden summers

I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break

So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay
