The Durutti Column - A Night In New York

Missing Boy

There was a boy
I almost knew him
A glance exchanged
Made me feel good
Leaving some signs
Now a legend
The dream was wrought
Where thoughts were heard
Where love is reserved
From previous times

[chorus]
Like a dead bird in the dirt
A rusty can on the ground
I don't believe in stardom
Machinery in action
Full of experts
Full of experts
Same old order
Same old order
Same old order

Watch with obsession
Some accident of beauty
Try to capture
As the light begins to fail
Shapes to compose
Shadows of frailty
The dream is better
Dissolves into softness
But the end
The end is always the same

[chorus]

There was a boy
I almost knew him
A glance exchanged
Made me feel good
Leaving some signs
Now a legend
