T.B.M.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you look at what we were?
Whether wrong or right
No one can tell
Whatever it takes
The reason to believe you
I won't let go
Sunset boulevard
Don't fade away
Let's take a walk in the dark
Sunset boulevard
Let's make belief
All the water was written in your heart
Near or Far
It'll always lead to us
Whether high or low
We carry on
Whatever it takes
The reason to believe you
I won't let go
Holding onto innocent meaning
Sunset boulevard
Don't fade away
Let's take a walk in the dark
Sunset boulevard
Let's make belief
All the water was written in your heart

Thank you so much - I have searched 24 years for this track.
In the summer of '95, I would sit on the balcony with my flat mate Dave, looking at the Isle of Wight and watching the ships sail by into the sunset. He introduced me to Café del Mar, trance and euphoric music. It changed my life. I have never looked back.....
This was THE track which was played on vinyl over and over until the sun rose in the east. It is impossible to get TBMP Sunset - until now my friend.
That was our last summer on the balcony. Dave died of CJD. I now listen with a smile in my heart but tears streaming down my cheeks. Dave still dances in the eternal club.
Thank you
