Broken Dreams Songtext

von The Busters

Not too long ago, a century or so
Alice was a girl that everybody knew
Every man's desire, the talk of the town
But look at her face and your face will frown

Her beauty is gone, she has become old
No more lovers left, she is all alone
Walking down the road by the harbour side
Normal faces turn getting drunk each night

Broken dreams - what has become of you?
Time passed by, you've lost your youth and grace
Broken dreams - what has become of you?
Your beauty is gone, it swept away

Look at the mirror, can't be the truth
You look at yourself, you're a cheat
But who are you cheating?
Can't you see anyone but you?

It's cold outside, rain is pouring down
All her dreams have gone, she has lost her grace
Nowhere left to go except port place
Where she meets her friend: liquid, tasty and brown

No more drinks are spent, no one left to chat
She never cared a lot about a broken heart
Now she seems to rot, her skin becomes a mess
She looks embarassing in her evening dress

Broken dreams - what has become of you?
Time passed by, you've lost your youth and grace
Broken dreams - what has become of you?
Your beauty is gone, it swept away

Look at the mirror, can't be the truth
You look at yourself, you're a cheat
But who are you cheating?
Can't you see anyone but you? 3x
