lyrics

Can you remember when you were young?
Now that tomorrow has turned out to be just an illusion
reaching on and on
Can you remember when you were small?
And the future was a sentence in a subway
that you couldn't read at all

Memories

I'll never forget when I
knew that we'd blew it and you were an ill wind
smiling, drunk against the sky
I don't remember you at all
You're just a badly drawn blueprint
You're a nothing, going wrong

Memories

Maybe these are the days
of lunatics and heartbreak
dividing our time between the lottery and backache
From rise to decline
its a five minute walk
and death is a full stop at the end of a line

Memories
