Another Country

from The Recorder by Kobayashi

/

lyrics

Memory lane is a terrible place
The past dispensing an entire can of mace, into your face
Knife in the flank, heart in the mouth, a stitch in time
A truly tragic moment searching for a rhyme

How did we fit in that skin?
Could we really have taken it in?
My eyes meet the eyes of the former self
Pity pouring from the frame upon the shelf

Oh, nostalgia - it isn’t what it used to be
Oh, sentiment - save a little piece for me

The past may be another country
But I’m a stranger in the present
The rolling mists obscure the view for me
The false before - familiar, pleasant

Because we always look back
Like it’s a matter of fact
As if the memory’s exact
How can we be sure of that?

Oh, nostalgia - it isn’t what it used to be
Oh, sentiment - save a little piece for me

Linkin Park, Basement Jaxx, Roxy Music, Queen, James Brown, Tom Waits, The Stooges, Gomez, Bowie and Muse are just some of the artists we’ve been compared to. We don’t try to sound like any of them. ... more
