I was in a sleeping dream |
|
When a policeman brought my mother home |
|
By the window i didn't scream |
|
I was too old for that |
|
I was in a drunken dream |
|
The pubs were closed |
|
It was three o'clock |
|
At the bottom of the street it seemed |
|
There was a policeman lost in the fog |
|
I understand but i don't see it |
|
I understand but i don't see it |
|
I understand but i don't read it |

Futures and pasts |

You can cry for your lost childhood |
|
Will you cry for our lost childhoods? |
|
But remember how you hated it |
|
And worse cause you couldn't state it? |
|
And it's time for the note, see it |
|
And it's time for the note, say it |
|
And it's time for the note, read it |
|
Futures and pasts |
|
Look at the woman of thirty-nine |
|
Look at the man of forty-nine |
|
You can read their lousy lives |
|
You can see their ugly face lines |
|
They understand but they don't see it |
|
They understand but they don't see it |
|
I understand but i don't read it |
|
Futures and pasts |
|
I understand but i don't see it |
|
I understand but i don't see it |
|
I understand but i don't read it |
