Bittersweet Lyrics - New Model Army

Once upon a time it was easy 

Everything kind of fell into place 

Now this feeling won't leave me 

We lost the power and we lost the pace 

It's staring straight between the eyes 

Something isn't right 

The harder we try the more we realise 

Something isn't right 

So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet 

Caught in this struggle for power 

Where only blood ever tastes sweet 

Everything else is so sour 

The numbing failures and defeats 

The loner's not a western hero 

With nerves of steel and heart of gold 

But here alone in the disco, icy cold 

But there's always another morning 

We're never dead till the last breath 

So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet
