lyrics

HOPE THAT WE ONCE HAD

We’re not as big as we would like to be
When eloquent words just help to heal the pain
We’re not as strong as we all aim to be
When all our blood is stuck in the brain

And it feels so bad, so it must be wrong
And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right

We’re not as cool as we intend to be
When we wave goodbye to the trains we didn’t catch
But we’re not as cold as we all try to be
When we fight the draw on a 90 minute’s match

Cause it feels so bad, so it must be wrong
And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right

So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place
And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad
The gloom returns onto your pretty face
And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had

We’re not as blue as we pretend to be
When nothing sticks and all things fall apart
We’re not so dark when there’s enough to see
And when a morning ray still hits us in the heart

Cause it would feel so bad, so it must be wrong
And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right

So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place
And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad
The gloom returns onto your pretty face
And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had

We’re not so small, and we’re not so weak
And we’re not that blue, cause we’re not so bleak

So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place
And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad
The gloom returns onto your pretty face
And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had

about

BAUM Switzerland

"Baum's intense and passionate performance was probably the best I witnessed at any gig for a long time. When I saw him live I actually felt privileged to be in the presence of someone with so much talent, so much passion, with songwriting of the highest quality. We really should be seeing this guy in the Olympia."
