Payolas Romance
Anna played games in the shadow of the moon
Danced too many times to the same old tune
Freedom jive from '65, she's still alive
Leaning on windows, laughing at the toys
Said it's the colours she enjoys, not the boys
Now she's got older, the streets are much colder
Nobody told her they gave peace a chance
But that's romance, romance
Anna was a child with flowers in her hair
Amazed at the prophets with promises to share
So devout, how far out
Anna was harmless, she only meant well
Surviving in heaven, but ignoring all the hell
It's an easy mistake to make (Don't make it)
But now she's got older, the streets are much colder
Nobody told her they gave peace a chance
But that's romance, romance
Anna was a feeling that grew in the sun
All she was saying, finished with a gun
Killing licks from '66
Now she's got older, the streets are much colder
Nobody told her they gave peace a chance
But that's romance, romance
