No Violins

Words and music by Roger Taylor


We were talking about the old times
We went walking down the streets we used to run
Remember when you were angry
About every cause to be had
We weren't all bad...

I'm not talking about security complex
I ain't talking about some monochrome duplex
I ain't talking about some new kind of weird sex
I'm just talking about - you and me
The way we used to be - hey
I'm just talking about you and me brother
I'm just talking about another time and place
We were hungry we were mad
We were angry we were glad
We were really Jack the lad
We weren't all bad

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins
Where's the madness where's the fire
With the flames getting higher
Where's the saints and the liars

I'm not talking about security complex
I ain't talking about some monochrome duplex
I ain't talking about some new kind of weird sex
I'm just talking about - you and me
The way we used to be - oh
I'm just talking about you and me brother
I'm just talking about another time and place
We were hungry we were mad
We were angry we were glad
We were really Jack the lad
We weren't all bad

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins
Where's the madness where's the fire
With the flames getting higher
Where's the saints and the liars

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins

We went down we cruised around
We went down down down in the violence
We went around we went around and round and round
We didn't hear no violins
