Last Of The Great Romantics Songtext / Lyric

Herecomes the last of the great romantics.

Faithful and true, believing in you,

regardless of the things you do.



Herecomes the last of the great romantics,

feetplanted wide, defying the tide.

Comeon Gatsby, stand aside.



Peoplesee me walking down the street

and Ihear them saying 'here he comes'

Thatboy makes a banquet from

atable of crumbs...



Hehears romantic music in

unanswered phones,

in theangry slamming of a door,

andthe girl that he's mad about

doesnot care any more.






Herecomes the last of the great romantics.

Defying the tide. Come on Gatsby, stand aside.



Herecomes the last of the great romantics.

Notfoolish, not grand, taking a stand.

Out oftouch? No, in command!



Sopeople, never ridicule the lovesick fool

or sayhe's only carrying a torch,

in hishands it's a flamethrower

andhis judgement is scorched.



Herecomes the last of the great romantics.

Nottortured, not wracked. Illusions intact.

Undiscouraged by the facts.



Herecomes the last of the great romantics.

Feetplanted wide, defying the tide,

comeon Gatsby, stand aside.



Herecomes the last of the great romantics.
