Freedom Someday Lyrics


I'm not chasing miracles
I don't want no sympathy
I'm waiting for the world
To keep me companyThinking 'bout the universe
Trying to keep my fears at bay
And all I'm hoping for
Is for someone else to want to sayFreedom someday
Are you ready to make the deal?
Freedom someday
Freedom to live for realI don't want no money
But buddy, can you spare the time of day?
'Cause silence is I'm sure
The highest price we payI don't wish my troubles on anyone
But I can wish them well
So I'm knocking on your door
'Cause there's something I would like to sayFreedom someday
I'm ready to make the deal
Freedom someday

Freedom to live for realSomehow life goes on
But when it's said and done it's such a bitter pill
When you think the battle's won
You hear the distant guns of all those fighting stillThe battle's in our heads
One we always lose whichever side we choose
We can paint the planet red
Or black and blue instead but we are one worldI'm not chasing miracles
But I don't choose to be this way
Now all I'm hoping for
Is for someone else to hear me sayFreedom someday
Are you ready to make the deal?
Freedom someday
Freedom to live for realFreedom someday
A life we won't have to steal
Freedom someday
Freedom to live for realAnd if our time has come
And if our race is run who will pay the bill?
When you think the battle's won
You hear the distant guns of all those fighting stillBut the battle's in our heads
One we always lose whichever side we choose
Paint the planet red
Or black and blue instead but we are one worldSomehow life's going on
But when it's said and done it's such a bitter pill
When you think the battle's won
You hear the distant guns of all those fighting stillThe battle's in our heads
One we always lose whichever side we choose
We can paint the planet red
Or black and blue instead but we are one world

Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
