Bankstatement Released August 1989 Recorded 1988-1989 Written by Tony Banks Vocal Alistair Gordon
Don't let it bring you down Your woman's gone and left you The taxman's here he's knocking on your door - oh
Don't let it bring you down Your brand new house is burning They're dumping toxic waste in your backyard - oh Your next door neighbour's gone and won the pools The life's so bad you wish that it was all over - over
You and i Could leave this all behind Dream a little Leave ourselves behind
Come with me Where dragons rule the air And diamonds aren't so hard to find And come what may Heroes never fail And time stands still No matter if you're young or old
Don't let it bring you down Nothing lasts for ever Even female movie stars grow old - oh
We try to break the rules and never age We try so hard but everything's in vain Then one day you wake and find that it's all over - over
You and i Could leave this all behind Dream a little Leave ourselves behind
Come with me Where dragons rule the air And diamonds aren't so hard to find And come what may Heroes never fail And time stands still No matter if you're young or old
So come with me Where dragons rule the air And diamonds aren't so hard to find...
