When We Not Quite Ruled the World
This song was created for Game of Bands round 258 : "Nostalgia"
Lyrics:
In a corner of the basement
In a box of old LPs
You dug up the truth, the gospel
Oh, don't roll your eyes at me
Far outside the mainstream fashions
A movement few would understand
A message unlike any other
With a goal to shake the land
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say……
Let me take you back in time
(Not so long ago)
A story for the lucky few
(Still in the know)
Had the future in our hands
(Before it all unfurled)
The time we not quite almost ruled the world
Critics never understood us
And the crowds they weren't so big
Radio refused to play us
Never scored a mainstream hit
But the fans came from all over
For a sound heard nowhere else
And they still carry it with them
Ever loyal to the end
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day…….
Let me take you back in time
(Not so long ago)
A story for the lucky few
(Still in the know)
Had the future in our hands
(Before it all unfurled)
The time we not quite almost ruled the world
Let me take you back in time
(Not so long ago)
A story for the lucky few
(Still in the know)
Had the future in our hands
(Before it all unfurled)
The time we not quite almost ruled the world
The time we almost not quite ruled the world
The time we almost…….
In a box of old LPs
You dug up the truth, the gospel
Oh, don't roll your eyes at me
Far outside the mainstream fashions
A movement few would understand
A message unlike any other
With a goal to shake the land
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say
Your dad was in a band
That's all to say……
Let me take you back in time
(Not so long ago)
A story for the lucky few
(Still in the know)
Had the future in our hands
(Before it all unfurled)
The time we not quite almost ruled the world
Critics never understood us
And the crowds they weren't so big
Radio refused to play us
Never scored a mainstream hit
But the fans came from all over
For a sound heard nowhere else
And they still carry it with them
Ever loyal to the end
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day
You'll have your time as well
Maybe one day…….
Let me take you back in time

The time we not quite almost ruled the world
Let me take you back in time
(Not so long ago)
A story for the lucky few
(Still in the know)

(Before it all unfurled)
The time we not quite almost ruled the world
The time we almost not quite ruled the world
The time we almost…….
