When Harmony Comes

You bit the bullet in the salad days of youth

And how'd you pull it with those trousers and that old truth

Yeah how'd you pull it with those trousers and that old truth

Hopes and anchors, window traces and you

Itching for life and more, scratching for joy next door

Believe me you've seen me

When harmony comes with its touch, feel its touch

Spitting back's only a crutch

And the first step is always the hardest

The first step is always the hardest

Well Brian X's seen the places where he lives

The places where he's been

London, Amsterdam, Alabam wherever I sing

And in the land where the cockroach is king

I've seen how he paints everything

I've seen him painting everything

How could this world have hurt you so much with its touch

That's what you said to me and lifted up my heart so much

With your touch

But the first step is always the hardest

The first step is always the hardest

You're keeping posters for your family tree

I've seen the billboards and the magazines

I've seen your picture in the NME

They're full of shit as far as I can see

We gather the books and enter the fray

We gather the books and enter but the first step is always the hardest

The first step is always the hardest

I've seen him waving from the balcony

I can't get contrast on this flash TV

I've heard the catcalls in the gallery

They're full of shit as far as I can see

How could this world have hurt you so much with its touch

That's what you said to me and lifted up my heart so much

With your touch

But the first step is always the hardest

The first step is always the hardest

We're all in this together (it's good to be alive)

We're all in this together (it's good to be alive)

We're all in this together (it's good to be alive)

We're all in this together (it's good to be alive)

So harmony comes, comes, comes, comes

Yeah
