Lyrics: Rhys Lewis/Aidan Glover
Music: Rhys Lewis/Aidan Glover
When music’s all but lost the blues
And every singer’s auto-tuned
And Grammies go to Robots
for their contributions made
I hope that we’re still listening
To Fleetwood Mac and Carole King
Whatever songs the stations spin
I hope we stay the same
However tall the neighbours fence
No matter who’s the president
In spite of what headlines
and the cynics have to say
I hope we’re always optimists
Despite the clowns in politics
Whatever state the nations in
I hope we stay the same
No matter what a coffee costs
Or which parks become apartment blocks
Or how much time it takes to save
the rent we have to pay/that’s due again
We’ll make a strangers house our home
Paint the walls we’ll never own
Then sit and watch the roses grow
I hope we stay the same
So much around can drag you down these day
So much of life can kill the fire in your soul,
But what’s the chance of that if I have
you there by my side
We’ll be fine
When every summer starts to be
The hottest one in history
And fires in the amazon are burning through the rain
I’d like to think we’ll still be kind
And generous in desperate times
However high the oceans rise
I hope we stay the same
And whether there’s a million pounds
Or nothing in our bank accounts
Let’s hold on to the things we have,
that money can’t replace
If we make a fortune in the end
Promise me we’ll never let
The champagne go right to our heads
I hope we stay the same
So much around can drag you down these day
So much of life can kill the fire in your soul,
But what’s the chance of that when I have
you there by my side
We’ll be fine
Well looks might fade but that’s alright
I fell for who you are inside
I hope we both age gracefully and never get too vain
Let’s laugh when all our hair is grey
And love the lines our smiles make
However our reflections change
I hope we stay the same
