Carrying No Cross - U.K.

Stop!

Been wrong so many times before

I was always laying down the law

And all attractions were a bore

They led me back to you

Uniforms were an allergy

They never felt quite right to me

They conjured war-time Germany

And God knows we need that

Temptation boundaries will never know

The time when my morale was low

The circumstances always show

The place was yours or mine

Carrying no cross before me

No prize to idolize, no story

To tell of adolescent glory

Just void…

Empty spaces, nothing to show

No point of reference, no place to go

But one thing I’d ignored, and so

The light came shining through…

Been wrong so many times before

I was always laying down the law

One thing you cannot ignore

Bad boys can come clean

Emotions I could not control

Illuminate my heart and soul

I saw a light, I scored a goal

And what price… peace of mind?
