fade to grey

the tones of a siren on a child’s bike plays the opening chords of 80s song Fade to Grey:

yes, it will all fade to grey, I want to tell the child

as my memories fade to grey

will you just politely say goodnight

fade to grey

we go right round baby, like a record

the hounds of love will fade to grey

ashes to ashes

when a child throws down a toy

fade to grey

ooh fashion

fade to grey

rip it up and start again

fade to grey new romantics

don’t talk to me about love

fade to grey old romantics

fade to grey young hearts, run free

fade to grey, old souls

fade to grey, heart of glass

I will survive and fade to grey

hair and skin fade to grey

I am an anarchist selling butter by the fist

fade to grey

atomic, fade to grey

enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today?

fade to grey

we’re the kids until we fade to grey
