I loved you since the day I met you

1988 the Fall

With your tortured soul and all.

You found me charming when I let you

Crush my heart against the wall,

1988 the Fall.



Suddenly one day, 

You turned and looked my way.

A felling wind would have had no more impact than

That heavy half a beat of victorious defeat.



At last,

At last my angel falls from grace.

At last,

At last she falls into my arms.

The fall of 88.



It's been ten years or maybe more

Since 1988 the Fall

Not much difference here at all.

You changed your ways with crafty poisons

All that changed is I got tall

1988 the Fall.



Suddenly one day,

Your lips got in my way.

The north face of Everest would be no more severe than

That heavy half a beat of victorious defeat. 



At last,

At last my angel falls from grace.

At last,

At last she falls into my arms.

The fall 



Here I was born.

And here I died

It was but a moment

For you and you took no notice.

Took no notice.

Took no notice.

Took no notice. 



Some friends have died, 

And some forgotten.

Howard Biggs and Biggie Smalls,

Love them dearly one and all.

I've been to hell

And branksome with you.

You and me we've seen it all

Since 1988 the Fall.



Hopefully one day,

Before we're old and grey,

You will have felt the crushing weight of 88

The heavy half a beat of victorious defeat.



At last,

At last my angel falls from grace.

At last,

At last my angel falls from grace.

At last, 

At last my angel falls from grace.

At last, 

At last she falls into my arms

The fall -



Grace, fall on my face

Fell into Grace at the heart of this disgrace.
