Back in Time (时光倒流) - Graham Parker[00:00:00]
You stop in the old cafe[00:00:23]
Where you used to play pinball[00:00:24]
And look for the air raid shelter but it's gone[00:00:27]
And the cafe seems so small[00:00:29]
And all the gardens that had trees[00:00:32]
And stolen apples[00:00:34]
Now have small businesses[00:00:36]
Flourishing in cinder blocks[00:00:38]
Then they will call your name[00:00:40]
And hand you a gold watch[00:00:42]
Then they will call your name[00:00:44]
But it doesn't sound like much[00:00:46]
And you'll never discover[00:00:49]
Why it's like an old lover[00:00:51]
You can't touch anymore[00:00:53]
It doesn't mean much anymore[00:00:55]
When you go back in time back in time[00:00:58]
You head down to the local[00:01:09]
Try to find a focal point[00:01:10]
A scratch in the wallpaper[00:01:13]
But it's all been wallpapered over[00:01:15]
Down at the newsagents[00:01:18]
It's all pornography[00:01:19]
And you try to get high again[00:01:21]
But it's like time lapse photography[00:01:23]
Then they will call your name[00:01:26]
And hand you a medal[00:01:28]
Or something more practical[00:01:30]
Like a whistling kettle[00:01:32]
And it'll test your metal[00:01:35]
Just try to keep grinning[00:01:37]
Knowing that this feeling is indulgence[00:01:39]
Worse than sinning[00:01:42]
Trying to go back in time[00:01:44]
Photographs with a glossy finish letters[00:02:23]
Lovers never finished[00:02:25]
And there in a dusty drawer[00:02:28]
A necktie you once wore[00:02:29]
And a girl you tried to court[00:02:32]
Made you feel about two feet short[00:02:34]
Where is she now today[00:02:36]
What would you have to say[00:02:38]
Then they will call your name[00:02:41]
And hand you a pension[00:02:43]
A bottle of pills[00:02:45]
That guarantee life extension[00:02:46]
And give you a mention in the local[00:02:50]
Boy makes good section[00:02:52]
But all the old news[00:02:54]
Is like print stains across your mind[00:02:55]
When you go back in time[00:02:58]
Yes all this old news[00:03:02]
Is just print stains across your mind[00:03:04]
When you go back in time back in time[00:03:07]
Back in time[00:03:17]
