Chorus:



We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed, we don't know why

We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by

We flicked through photographs we had, somehow they made us sad

Remembering the times we used to have, it made us cry



Oh I remember death in the afternoon



A silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm

The lovers and the friends all felt the same, it kept us warm

We raised our glass and drank to times we had, but'd see no more

The pictures of the past would haunt us still, and there remains



Oh I remember death in the afternoon



(Repeat chorus 2 times)
