Again and Again

from Black Dog by Mark Ayling

lyrics

There were never meant to be any heroes
I am just like you, you were just like me
The playing field was supposed to be levelled
A game of harmony and symmetry
That's what makes this so embarrassing to watch
This re-alignment of your past
Out of all the clothes you wore and all the things you said
Only the music was ever meant to last

This keeps happening again and again
The martyr's crown bestowed upon you far outweighs your name
And this keeps happening again and again
The chaos that surrounded you is now passive and tame

For nearly 20 years your column inches were zero
Then suddenly, again, you're the latest music press hero
Are they riding the bandwagon or did they just realise
you are a lost part of their youth to idolise?
They even forgot who you were in the late '80's
But I think that you did too
It still doesn't explain this reassurgance now you're dead
A god, a master, a monster to be fed
