Lyrics Ian McCulloch

Ian McCulloch

Playgrounds And City Parks

In playgrounds and city parks

we played around 'till it went dark

in every breath another spark was dying

at bus stops we stood in line

like full stops at the end of time

where teardrops don't ever dry for crying

la la la la

la la la la

light up my life

all my days

all my nights

light up my lonely life

light up my lonely life

i knew i'd never leave the street

i love the taste of self defeat

you never win and you can't reat what's broken

if don't play then you don't loose

you either play or have to choose

the words to say or leave the words unspoken

la la la la

la la la la

light up my life

all my days

all my nights

light up my lonely life

light up my lonely life

is sight again

and suffering

and all your dreams

have ended

light up my life

all my days

all my nights

light up my lonely life

light up my lonely life
