Fixx, The - Built For The Future Lyrics






Some say a trick, some say a look
It's just a way of thinking after all
From underneath something concrete
It's just a way of coping, coping with it all
Some with revolt, some will obey
Who attains perfection and who's to say
A criminal or a cardinal
They're both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

For some a walk, to some a dance
It's just a form of motion one and all
Without dispute the least aware
Will no doubt see the ragings of a fool
First we look then we spy
The man who has a vision wants it all
A sin so clean rule supreme
The power to undermine
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
Build it up, build it up for the future

Some say a trick, some say a look
Some say a trick, some say...

First a glance, then a chance
To make a simple gesture worth it all
A conquer all, a desert stall
That serves a drink to people under the sun
At last the place, now where's the time
To take in all the other points of view
Some are inert but one exists
To build a bridge
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
So build it, build it up, for the future
It doesn't mean much now
Some will revolt, some will obey
(Built for the future)
Who attains perfection, and who's to say
It doesn't mean much now
So build it up, build it up, built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
A criminal, a cardinal
(Built for the future)
Both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
So build it, build it up
Built for the future
It doesn't mean much now...

Fixx, The Built For The Future Comments

    2020 and the future is still being built

    This is my alltime fav and i love everything by them. Whoever posted this thank you goes across the windshield of my 92 ranger which has been on dyno all emmiss eqip deleted and runs cleaner than a new fusion!

    This cut is a perfect example of the essence of the FIXX, using discordant sounds to make a melody you can actually hum along with, when, as you listen to it, it sounds choppy, energy-packed, almost twitchy. But Cy's voice acts like a verbal emulsifier, softening the effects of the syncopation and synth and percussion sounds with a totally non-traditional lead vocal style. I put Curnin and the boys in a separate category of excellence, because no one else sounds remotely like The FIXX, and they still sound truly fresh after three decades. They were one of the only ones pushing the RnR musical envelope in the Era of the Hair Band. And they held their own against bands like Depeche Mode. Truly a blessing to have followed them since they broke in the US. And the awesome super-under-rated rhythm section of Adam Wood on drums and Dan Brown on bass is just a bonus for a former drummer. The most impressive aspect to the band is that you could have released their stuff in 1970, and they would have been just as popular. I feel the same holds true if they were a new band in 2015. The FIXX have a timeless sound and appeal. New fans will have the best experience if they listen to "Reach the Beach" (album), and then "Phantoms". A band hitting on all eight cylinders, with fearless writing and arranging.
