Came to western isles and the Greek young men
He went to the moon, to the moon
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
He says, "How could it come to this?
He said, "How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this"
And with their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
How could it come to this?
Many years ago, he looked out through a glassless window
Songwriter: K Wallinger
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this"
Is it like today? Ah, ah
But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
Is it like today? Ah, ah

Ooh, aah, ooh
How did it comes to this?
You're really killing me, you know"
Then there came a day, man packed up flew off from the planet
I'm really worried about my creation
All that he could see was Babylon
Didn't understand, watch what he saw
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
We're really worried about living
It isn't just today? Ah, ah
I'm really worried about living
But there was a worry in his heart
Now he's out in space, hey, fixing all the problems
Is it like today? Ah, bang
They could sit and guess God's name
Then there came a day, moved out across the Mediterranean
He comes face to face with God
Many years ago, he looked out through a glassless window
Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolution
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
We've living in a landslide
Is it like today? Ah, ah
Is it like today? Ah, ah
But they said, "How could it come to this?
He said, "How could it come to this?
How could it come to this?
