Something that came out of the blue other day when I did decluttering. Used my lunch break to think about it… THE LIVING YEARS (by ~Mike and the Mechanics) Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door. I know that I’m a prisoner To all my father held so dear I know that I’m a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him In the living years. Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thoughts. Stilted conversations I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got. You say you just don’t see it He says it’s perfect sense You just can’t get agreement In his present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence. Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It’s too late when we die To admit we don’t see eye to eye. (Chorus) So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It’s the bitterness that lasts. So don’t yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don’t give up, And don’t give in You may just be okay. (Chorus) I wasn’t there that morning When my father passed away I didn’t get to tell him All the things I had to say. I think I caught his spirit Later the same year I’m sure I heard his echo In my baby’s newborn tears I just wish I could have told him In the living years.

Record 2472. #MikeAndTheMechanics #LivingYears I bought this record by mistake. This isn't the record I was thinking of when I picked it up second hand. I realised the moment I walked out of the store. But it does remind me of my early high school years so of course it's staying. #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CQDzkoyMubA/?utm_medium=tumblr

@ahsfx Challenge Day 15: Most Iconic Scene from #ahs1984? #thelivingyears! I hate that song by #mikeandthemechanics but as #bobbyrichter ran to beat the devil and the music swelled, I cheered him on as tears ran down my face!! I’m a sucker for #horror with a #happyending and this is probably the most happy and epic ending #americanhorrorstory has ever had! And now, I’m a genuine fan of that god awful song! #ahs #ahsfx #finnwittrock #horror #horrorgeek #spooky #creepy #may #latespring #earlysummer #night #dandelionwine #terrorverse (at The Terrorverse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMu4VXpFPW/?igshid=5ywakhm37vxt
