Here are several pictures and pictures mean the past Here's a pretty desert scene and here's a sea of grass Likely orchards and vacant lots, big men grinning and holding hands All the time the season's win and everything is lost Something saids been said before but it's often worth repeating And all the times that made the world are slipping into forgetting And how are you and what did you do before you started thinking? And I am fine and shaky still, this side of things gets clearer I'll never have the time to suffer my easy past And I'll never have a camera to disturb my rosy past And I'll never have a sober night whilst the drink lasts Whilst it lasts Here is a picture, I guess he's probably dead Here's another picture, the fantastic three off their heads Ignore this western trip, little thing, there's so many other ideas I live in the song lines of boys from all over the world Something saids been said before and here am I repeating That all the times that made my world cannot be forgotten And I'll never have a camera to keep these lies And here am I sitting in the sun with burning skin and a big red book And here are you on your holiday, I wonder if you still look that way These damn pictures I could forget things so quickly But they're always here and I cannot throw memories away Here comes the stickler with his brand new Polaroids Here are several pictures and pictures mean the past Here I go into fogginess, all my past destroyed
