Lyrics Close to Madness - New Jordal Swingers

I saw him on the TV show
He was a rock'n'roller
You know it seems so long ago
But the story goes on and on

He used to live he used to love
He knew the pain from sorrow
You'd never dream he'd have to go
But the story goes and on

Was he caught by a spell, was he burning like hell
In a world that was close to madness
Was he paying the price, was he fed up with lies
In a world that was close to madness
The story goes on and on

We see the dream they live the scheme
They know the morning after
It seems an everlasting theme
And the story goes on and on

Here's to a man who made the grade
Here's to a boy that follows
Try to avoid the grim parade
And the story goes on and on

He was caught by a spell, he was burning like hell
In a world that was close to madness
He was paying the price, he was fed up with lies
In a world that was close to madness
The story goes on and on
The story goes on and on
The story goes on and on
The story goes on and on
