Buggles, The - Lenny Lyrics






Lenny!
Lenny!

All the fools who await your return
May we tell them the truth
There's no way you can turn back the clock
Never cling to your youth (Lenny!)

How unfortunate it must have been
Life is only a race (Lenny!)
You're so old that it might take a crane
Just to lift back your face

Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass

Lenny!

How unstable we bolt with the horse
Setting music to muscle
And the fallers will litter the course
As we run to the castle

Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass

Careful
You're walking on glass
You're walking on glass

Careful
You're walking on glass

(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
Did it show you the answer?
When the ships do not fall off the world
Does it mean there's a wall there?

(He said the sun doesn't move)
Careful
He could be walking on glass

He could see that the earth was a mover
But the sun was a mother
He could see that the earth was a mover
But the sun was a mother

But he was walking on glass

  1. J.... H....

    Great song ! I hope there will be a remastered version soon

    Nice piece of Cowbell in the first part! He maximised it for hit portential!

  4. F.... U....

    Whish to have the lyrics. Into my soul *****

  5. s.... ....

    As a rock and roll listener in my youth and to this day, this album is still one of my favorites. So innovative, creative and beautiful all at once.

  6. a.... ....

    TOTAL AWESOMENESS....for EVER!!. XOXO

  7. A.... J....

    I love what you might call the "conveyor belt" rhythm at the end of the song. I mean the bit that starts at 2 mins 53 secs.

  8. M.... ....

    80s....after that my life was over

  9. m.... A....

    the late 80s had such brilliant music

    m.... A....

    Early 80s. This is from 1981.

  10. C.... G....

    One of my favorite songs of all-time - so original and melodic!

  11. M.... E....

    Why is the 80s so fucking good?

    M.... E....

    Becuste it's the best!

  12. G.... U....

    It's not about Leonardo da Vinci. It's about Galileus Galilei.

    G.... U....

    Exactly, and because of that the song title is "Lenny" ;)

  13. M.... ....

    i love that song specially the last part of the song 3:00 to the end

  14. x.... ....

    2:20 - Proof that Trevor Horn can sound like Jon Anderson.

  15. d.... v....

    I think its rather about Galileo who was an astronom

    d.... v....

    Citing from Wikipedia: "Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, ASTRONOMY, botany, writing, history, and cartography."

  16. T.... ....

    Bella ehhhhhhh

  17. B.... ....

    I love Trevor Horn's voice - it's really warm and nuanced

  18. A.... J....

    Someone on another upload of this has pointed out that it's about Leonardo Da Vinci. I wouldn't have thought of that myself!

  19. V.... M....

    Su único éxito fue: Video killed the radio star....

    V.... M....

    es una lástima que seamos pocos los que escuchamos más de sus obras maestras

  20. m.... ....

    @rkt739 Thanks! It appears my turntable is a little bit too slow, so this upload is not 100 % correct.

  21. r.... ....

    The version on the CD re-release runs 3:14. Hope that helps! ;)

  22. m.... ....

    Thanks for that. The good news is: I like the song in all versions :)

  23. t.... a....

    Right, I've done some research and it seems the correct version is 3:12, and this is 3:20, and mine was 3:07! Oh bother.

  24. t.... a....

    Ah, strangely, I just found out that my turntable has been running too fast! Maybe we will never know......

  25. m.... ....

    It is a tad slower than the other version on Youtube. I don't have a knob for adjusting the speed so if it is too slow, my turntable is not working properly. As I don't have the cd version, I can't compare.

  26. t.... a....

    Oh dear! Sounds like your turntable needs re-calibrating!
