[Lyric] Cut A Dash (Academy (UK))

[Verse 1]
She could see
The bright young buck he claimed to be
He would die
A thousand deaths and not know why
The set falls fast
He struggled on until at last
A shaky cry
In his dreams he’d ride life high

[Verse 2]
A bigger lie
[?] climb then slipping by
Critical eye
On him cast a pall he’d not deny
A reckless deed
The doubting class would sow that seed
But in their eye
He’d spit the words and pass on by

[Chorus]
Those who knew me
Claim they cared
Once were with me
Vanished in the air
Those who knew me
Dealt the blow
Made my dreams
Won’t be the first to know
[Verse 3]
Time moves fast
The reaper’s blade claims all that’s past
Cut a dash
Pumped up late, he claimed the cash
His future steps
Recall, remind, recourse, regrets
When she wouldn’t buy
The time when dreams were in his eye

[Chorus]
Those who knew me
Claim they cared
Once were with me
Vanished in the air
Those who knew me
Dealt the blow
Made my dreams
Won’t be the first to know

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Those who knew me
Claim they cared
Once were with me
Vanished in the air
Those who knew me
Dealt the blow
Made my dreams
Won’t be the first to know
Those who knew me
Claim they cared
Once were with me
Vanished in the air
Those who knew me
Dealt the blow
Made my dreams
Won’t be the first to know
