If the world keeps turning
And the mind keeps burning
Can you feel the passion?
I cannot make it happen Once again
Now I am running in times that are frightening
But I won’t let that break me. I won’t let that take me down again

So you know my story
We’ll I’ll tell you a secret
Inside I was certain
Inside I was crying out for more
Now I’m roaming through seats that are empty
To find my destination
Will you touch my fascination once again?
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on…
I am twice the man I used to be
Through a journey of discover me
And it’s more than a feeling
It’s there inside the meaning

Of the man who is speaking
To all of your emotion
And now I’m beholding To keep to our future in my head

It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history it’s there for all the world to see
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on…

You don’t understand that I won’t shake
You don’t realize that I won’t break
Cause I could be so strong for you alone
We can live it once again
Oh yeah!

So you know my story
Well I’ll tell you a secret
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
I think my future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on…
Come On…
Come on…

Billy Idol

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
