Against the Past Songtext
von Luxuria

Candy Smorgon now has gone to join
The quick and the dead clever
Tonight we′re seeing her final film
Her crowning endeavor
She washed herself for years in mouth-watering praise
But we all know she never grew up
She just shrank sideways

Yesterday was fine, I think I'll admit somehow
Last week wouldn′t even show up on radar now
Yesterday was fine, I think I'll admit somehow
Last week wouldn't even show up on radar now
Last week wouldn′t even show up on radar now


Winnie the Obscure, he′s weighing his own heart
He's been sleeping like Calvin Coolidge
To give himself the part
And now he′s crying, "Oh brother, he's dead
And I, I didn′t feel a thing"
And Juggaboo, with a landslide smile, replies
"Oh, I'm all proud of him"

Under the roofs and the gutters up above
Even the sparrows are burning up with human love
Under the roofs and the gutters up above
Even the sparrows are burning up with human love
Even the sparrows are burning up with human love

Night of light, it′s failing over greenly on the hill
Powders of a Honda plantation wind, over downhill
We reach the doors to the doubtful city
They close as if in pain
How tall Howard DuRoutle boulevard
I remember you and me, we're kissing in the rain

And it's all so gone and this could never last
I′ll stay with you, I′ll stay with you against the past
This could never last
I'll stay with you, I′ll stay with you against the past


This could never last
This could never last
This could never last
This could never last
