THE N.S.

<br>(A. Scott/Sloan) <br><br>Free for all so choose your places well <br>But you won`t believe all the things we`re telling you <br>End it all before the curtain falls <br>Because all time will tell <br>Is that everything is a lie <br><br>I lost the fight but won the war <br>And no one really knows what it is we`re fighting for <br>You lost the fight but won the war <br>And no one really knows what it is we`re fighting for <br><br>But if you think that it`s cold when you`re swimming in the ocean <br>It`s hard to believe you`re a Nova Scotian boy <br>Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion <br>And if we get lost we can find out <br>Where it was we used to be when time stood still for you <br><br>You or I could tell a story well <br>But attention fell before the lights came on again <br>Without the sense of hearing <br>My thoughts are disappearing <br>And all time will tell <br>Is that anyone can decide <br><br>I lost the fight but won the war <br>And no one really knows what it is we`re fighting for anyway <br>You lost the fight but won the war <br>And no one really knows what it is we`re fighting for <br><br>But if you think that it`s cold when you`re swimming in the ocean <br>It`s hard to believe you`re a Nova Scotian boy <br>Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion <br>And if we get lost we can find out <br>Where it was we used to be <br>We`re following signs to the sea <br>So take your time <br>If you`re leaving before me <br>And say goodbye <br>Say bye bye
