A Day Late, A Dollar Short - Lyrics - Hanoi Rocks

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish hard rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009.

Late at night as I lay down to sleep I think of all the secrets people keep Like how I feel for you Do you feel it too Or is it something we have to resume We're just two people watching time fly by In a world in it's obvious decline But we are young and strong We can carry on Find a little Paradise of our own 'cos no one saves the day It's no one else's fault If you're a day late or a dollar short Just think about how lovely life could be Excluding all the man-made misery If we're too far behind And really out of time Is there another world they plan to find? Too many dreams of youth That we never caught Just a day late or a dollar short We're all just lonely people Only dyin' to fall in love Feelings that we thought Dreams we never caught Just a day late or a dollar short All the loneliness, the blues Feelings so distraught When you're a day late or a dollar short Too many dreams of youth That we never caught Just a day late or a dollar short And no one saves the day It's no one else's fault When you're a day late or a dollar short
