  • Should have been on the album in my opinion.
    Lyrics:
    Nobody asked you to be what you are,
    Nobody told you to go quite so far,
    Sometimes they need more then you have to give.
    Everyone demands the ultimate gift
    And each fragile moment of every long day you're frightened of failure in each word you say
    Your wives and your children
    Family and friends will persecute you for each small accident
    And nothing can save you, no one forgives, your where buried in
    Envy the moment that you lived.
    And running and hiding will do you no good
    Praying is wasted you misunderstood
    That the rules of the game were the ones that you laid all those long years ago
    When you heedlessly played at the role of creator from cradle till grave,
    So suffer in silence you will never be saved.
    And all of the answers washed out on the sand
    On a far distant shore of some unnamed dark land
    Where the science of reason cannot yet expand
    On the gospel of the martyrs, the nails in their hands,
    Crashing gracelessly forward through forward through debris of fate
    To the last bitter chapter the terminal gate
    The chains that you fashioned you strain just to stand
    Stumbling slowly surely into your own no man's land.

    Andy mccluskey,s song writing is up there with the best who ever can think of. But such a incredible talent he's never been credited for, maybe one day andy and it will be and we'll deserved. Such a brilliant song.👏👏👏👏👍👍

    I don't write this lightly, as a fan since 1980 (10 year old), this is the best song. I can not get passed it. There isn't much out there that is written with such skill and openness. Talking about exposing your soul in words.
    Andy you have touched so many over the years with great lyrics and music, but this is at that top of your game, the best in song craft here. Thank you for this gift.

      ​@StuartMorris-pw1jw I still believe what I wrote. The song has aged very well. Cheers, Stuart. 🫡

    Oh my GOD! This is a sort of a miracle... Please OMD put this on your playlist...during your summer concerts...specially in PORTUGAL (the first time you'll came here)... Cause this is amazing... It makes me fell an imortal but we all die one day.. It touch me so deeply that makes me cry, fell alife till the day I die...
    N.B.: I´m trying harder to get the lyric... because I want to sing this song... it´s not the firts cover I made from OMD...please if anyone has it... put it here.

    So where has this little gem been hiding? It's beautiful. Grown up with OMD and they continue to surprise me. Long may they continue - they make me feel good

      B side of single from English Electric. (don't remember which single). so available on a cd single, and on the deluxe version of EE.

    Sometimes it seems like some of OMD's most quietly powerful songs escape popularity for all of the wrong reasons...just like The View From Here...my favorite song off of their latest.

    Can't quite put into words the emotions that this song manages to push forward from my soul. I understand why it might not 'fit' with the rest of English Electric songs and hence, not get included on regular release. All of EE is excellent. This however stands above ....
