Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost
A warnin' to anyone still in command
Of their possible future to take care
In derelict sidings, the poppies entwined
With cattle trucks lying in wait
For the next time
[Verse 2]
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
[Verse 3]
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
Stepping up boldly, one put out his hand
He said, I was just a child then
Now I'm only a man
[Verse 4]
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
[Verse 5]
By the cold and religious, we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
Strung out behind us, the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters
And rags
[Verse 6]
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
