What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
This all started the way things do
2
With a laugh and a cup of tea around the fire
3
As we sheltered from those wicked winds in front of that old TV
4
And we traded ideas as we watched each other with those ambitious bright eyes
5
Those eyes that saw every detail of the world so clear
6
And we bided our time impatiently until the hunger really burned
7
And the softest sweetest kisses were lost amidst the thunder in our hearts
8
We watched the people round us getting up, getting on, getting old
9
But the game we were going to play so well - we'd get to stay young forever
10
To begin with they just smiled and stepped around our little fire
11
But remember how pretty soon that all began to change
12
But now bitter in this great city all the little children should go home
13
Because the big men want to make deals
14
When they find you've got something they want
15
The party's gone, the party's done, the party's over children
16
You'd better go home
17
Funny how they all come running if you let your pockets jangle a little
18
And there's that strange queasy feeling
19
Every time someone holds a door open for you
20
Such sweetness, such kindness - while they manoeuvre you into position
21
And we all know how hard it is to bite the hand that feeds you
22
Remember all those old films we used to watch every Friday night on TV
23
However fast you run, however slow the Mummy walks
24
It always catches you in the end
25
The party's gone, the party's done, the party's over children
26
You'd better go home
27
This ain't no place anymore for little girls or little boys
28
Not unless you want them to spoon-feed you all your life
29
The party's gone, the party's done, the party's over children
30
This dream is gone, this dream is dead, this dream is over, children
31
You'd better go home
