[Rq]Postcards from a Young Man Lyrics

[Tetsuo]

Are the proper lyrics to the album available anywhere? A reputable site like, not these lyrics sites laden with spam and viruses.

I'm looking for Golden Platitudes if anyone could copy/paste them please.

[Frozendiva]

From the album sleeve:

Postcards from a Young Man

I don't believe the absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong
This life it sucks your principles away
You have to fight against it every single day

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

It is like so many other things
As distant as your former sins
So sad and lonely and so derelict
As the optimism that we onced shared

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in

I won't betray your confidence
I won't pretend my way was lost
This world will not impose its will
And I will not give up and I will not give in

Golden Platitudes

The platitudes they all dissolved
They got too deep got too involved
The platitudes just interludes
To break the trust me with and you
Oh what a Shangri-La
Oh what a shower we are
Oh what a mess we've made
What happened to those days
When everything seemed possible
With no-one to tell you no
Where did the feeling go
Where did it all go wrong

Born to be a Communist
But then the marriage failed
As did the partnership
The platitudes they all dissolved
They got too deep got too involved
The platitudes just interludes
To break the trust with me and you

I fell back in love with love - I know that it might sound odd
The Liberal left destroyed
Every bit of our youth
Left with the barest of bones - leaving us all with holes
Where did it all go wrong - where did the feeling go
Why colonise the moon
When every different kind of desperation exists
In every single home - where did the feeling go
Where did the feeling go - where did it all go wrong

[MassCommunication]

lalalalalalala
lalalalalala

Colonise the moon, interesting that.

Thank you Frozendiva, it was really just Platitudes I was looking for but was also curious if anyone had typed out the full lyrics to the whole album.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the lyrics to Platitudes, not that I listen to it it much - I literally fell asleep to it yesterday! But the lyrics to it aren't anywhere in the deluxe booklet, which is weird.

Whole of lyrics are here on the Removables site:
