Song With No Name - Lyrics - Heaven 17

Heaven 17 are an English new wave synthpop band originating from Sheffield in the early 1980s. Originally a trio, the band comprised Martyn Ware , Ian Craig Marsh and Glenn Gregory . Although most of the band's music was recorded in the 1980s, they have occasionally reformed to record and perform since then, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997. Marsh left the band in 2007 and Ware and Gregory continued to perform as Heaven 17 since then.

Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme Can't work, I am tired all the time Can't eat, since my appetite has gone Can't think, when it started to go wrong Can't move, I've no energy to fight Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings I've searched around for years and years I've drank in bars, destroyed careers Sold on a need to be famous I've seen the good in men survive Only to fail when I arrive Convincing them I am blameless I was the man with future sight I would change fortunes overnight Knowing for me it was painless Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme Can't work, I am tired all the time Can't eat, since my appetite has gone Can't think, when it started to go wrong Can't move, I've no energy to fight Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings One day in April 10:15 Awakened screaming by a dream Something that touched me was burning A diamond pin fell from my eye Then something strange began to cry "Your will can stop this world turning" Since then I've fought more than I should Against the will that I withstood Hoping I could be its master But now the dream is all I see There is no hope of breaking free One song away from disaster Can't move, I've no energy at all Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings
