Broken Dreams - The Busters

Not too long ago, a century or so

Alice was a girl that everybody knew

Every man’s desire, the talk of the town

But look at her face and your face will frown

Her beauty is gone, she has become old

No more lovers left, she is all alone

Walking down the road by the harbour side

Normal faces turn getting drunk each night

Broken dreams — what has become of you?

Time passed by, you’ve lost your youth and grace

Broken dreams — what has become of you?

Your beauty is gone, it swept away

Look at the mirror, can’t be the truth

You look at yourself, you’re a cheat

But who are you cheating?

Can’t you see anyone but you?

It’s cold outside, rain is pouring down

All her dreams have gone, she has lost her grace

Nowhere left to go except port place

Where she meets her friend: liquid, tasty and brown

No more drinks are spent, no one left to chat

She never cared a lot about a broken heart

Now she seems to rot, her skin becomes a mess

She looks embarassing in her evening dress

Broken dreams — what has become of you?

Time passed by, you’ve lost your youth and grace

Broken dreams — what has become of you?

Your beauty is gone, it swept away

Look at the mirror, can’t be the truth

You look at yourself, you’re a cheat

But who are you cheating?

Can’t you see anyone but you?
