Thrown Away - The Stranglers

If ever you had counted

The centuries you threw away

And all the lies that you had started

And all the chances thrown away

If I set sail for new horizons

Could I still leave you waiting here

I would chase just one set of chances

The others would be thrown away

Even though we tried time wasn’t on our side

Then there came the day we threw it all away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

My winter nights are so much colder

Than yours could ever be

I wish I hadn’t been a traveller

I would not have had to go away

When all is said and all is over

When all is just a memory

Our ships will stay for just a moment

Leaving false Gods and hypocrisy

Even though we tried time wasn’t on our side

Then there came the day we threw it all away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Even though we tried time wasn’t on our side

Then there came the day we threw it all away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away

Thrown away
