Lately, British Sea Power
Lately, you seem like another language
Are you in trouble?
Are you in trouble, again?
And you know how they say
The past, it is a foreign country
How can we go there?
How can we go where we once went?
Have I been standing here for so long?
Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong
So which way do I go to get out of here?
Avoiding land mines
And all the other stuff round here
Replacing Hercules with the heroic sounds of Formby
Remove the tunics touch, stood aside from the putsch
Stood aside from history
Have I been standing here for so long
Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong
Through the Kattegat, maybe Outer Java
Oh did you wonder if these days will stay true
All through the years
All through the dead scenes
Across the memories
Across the melodies, melodies, melodies...
Have I been standing here for so long
Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong
