lyrics

He's got a new sister,
he knew he would miss her,
as soon as they said goodbye.
There's nothing between them
so what does it mean then?
She's leaving him asking why.

The thing about being on top of the world
the next step is always down.

All you need is a long term plan
and a cynical view of the common man.
You're going to be up and you're going to be down,
but you've got to get used to this hanging around.

She's got a new hero,
she wants to be near now,
but he only wants a friend.
There's nothing between them
so what does it mean then
and why does it have to end?

All you want is to take a stand
and all the people in the palm of your hand
But you've got to be good and you've got to be kind
and you've got to get used to being left behind.

Leave him to his pride
he thinks he's so right
he won't wish for the beautiful things.
Leave her to her dreams
she'll see what it means
when angels lose their wings.

There's nothing between them
so what does it mean then
and why does it have to end?

Summer 2000
