Lyrics to The Same Old Scene
Lyrics to the song The Same Old Scene as recorded by Roxy Music.
(Ferry)
Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
Young loving may be oh so mean
Will I still survive the same old scene?
In our lighter moments, precious few
It's all that heavy weather we're going through
When I turn the corner
I can't believe
It's still the same old movie
That's haunting me
Young loving may be oh so mean
Trying to revive the same old scene
Young loving may be so extreme
Maybe we should try the same old scene
Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
Nothing lasts forever
The Same Old Scene
