Forty-five Lyrics

Bells are chiming for victoryThere?s a page back in history - 45They came back to the world that they fought forDidn?t turn out just like they thought - 45Here is a song to sing to do the measuringWhat did you lose, what did you gain, what did you win? Nine years later a child is bornThere?s a record so you put it on - 45Nine years more if we?re lucky nowNine year old puts his money down - 45Every scratch, every click, every heartbeatEvery breath that I held for you - 45There?s a stack of shellac and vinylWhich is yours now or which is mine? - 45Here is a song to sing to do the measuringWhat did you lose, what did you gain, what did you win? Bass and treble heal every hurtThere?s a rebel in a nylon shirtBut the words are a mystery I?ve heardTill you turn it down to thirty-three and a third?cause it helps with the elocutionCorporations turn revolutions - 45I heard something peculiar saidPerhaps he?s got a shot and now he?s dead - 45So don?t you weep and shed(? )Just change my name insteadBut what do you lose when it all goes to your head? Bells are chiming and tears are fallingIt creeps up on you without a warning - 45Every scratch, every click, every heartbeatEvery breath that I?ve blessedI?ll be lost I confess - 45 45 45Elvira Madigan - Forty-five - http://motolyrics.com/elvira-madigan/forty-five-lyrics.html
