    That's me in the crowd! I saw them live at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas, Texas for the Strength tour. I miss The Alarm and I miss the Bronco Bowl!

    Well Ramona likes her malt liquor
    And a band from Wales that's called The Alarm
    She said she cried when they broke up
    She still plays their records at the snake farm

    The Alarm
    Well I find myself in reverie
    'Bout what we might have had
    And what might have been
    We had something going once
    That was such a long, long time ago
    It was way back in '76
    Our friendship formed of pure innocence
    We first met in Mathew Street
    Where we heard something that would set us free
    A sign stands over a door, it says
    "Four lads who shook the world"
    In the depths of those heady nights
    We would dream of those bright lights
    Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
    And my friend John, he went away
    He made some mistakes
    Spent time in Walton jail
    And now when I see him we still talk
    But there's no light shining in his eyes
    And Susie, she was seventeen
    And more beauty in this world
    I swear you'll never see
    I was gonna be king
    And she was gonna be queen

      But now all she does is hide behind the tears
      If there was more sense in this world
      And work wasn't so hard to find
      You would not be going your way
      I would not be going mine
      Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
      Somewhere tonight out on the street
      Somewhere beneath this city's heat
      In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
      Life is cruel and so unkind
      Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76
      And Pete has seen his dreams come true
      But that don't make him no hero
      He's just one of the lucky few
      If a man can't change the world these days
      I still believe a man can change his own destiny
      But the price is high that has got to be paid
      For everyone who survives there are many who fail
      I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
      All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
      I will never give in until the day I die
      Get myself some independence
      Carve out a future with my two bare hands
      Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
      Somewhere tonight out on the street
      Somewhere beneath this city's heat
      In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
      Life is cruel and so unkind
      Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76
      Mersey lights shine in the distance
      Same as they did for us then
      Mersey lights shine bright in the distance
      Where are you now my friend?
      You see some nights when I can't sleep
      I still think of you
      And all the promises, all our dreams we shared
      I know those lights still call to you
      I can hear them now
      I can hear them now
      Somewhere tonight out on the street
      Somewhere beneath this city's heat
      In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
      Life is cruel and so unkind
      Oh- Oh
      Where's it gone
      The SPIRIT OF '76
