THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
Can’t assume that I am next in line
As I’m staring at the rolling dice
Cause if it wasn’t for the bad luck
Then I wouldn’t have any luck at all
None
It’s spreading far and wide
And hailed as the longest ride
Still I may not know where I’m going
But I know I’m going there on my own
Alone
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
Sweep me off my feet and bring me home
No delusion can outmatch my own
Know the dream is more abysmal
Than any love ever fallen into
Or through
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
As you run to your death
Tame your pride first
Know that you can’t catch you breath
And from there it only gets worse
When you follow your heart
If you ever follow your heart
Could never make my daughter proud
And could never joined the normal crowd
Maybe I haven’t worked it hard enough
Or maybe… I’m just not enough
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
Can’t assume that I am next in line
As I’m staring at the rolling dice
Cause if it wasn’t for the bad luck
Then I wouldn’t have any luck at all
None
It’s spreading far and wide
And hailed as the longest ride
Still I may not know where I’m going
But I know I’m going there on my own
Alone
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
Sweep me off my feet and bring me home
No delusion can outmatch my own
Know the dream is more abysmal
Than any love ever fallen into
Or through
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
As you run to your death
Tame your pride first
Know that you can’t catch you breath
And from there it only gets worse
When you follow your heart
If you ever follow your heart
Could never make my daughter proud
And could never joined the normal crowd
Maybe I haven’t worked it hard enough
Or maybe… I’m just not enough

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
