Remember Songtext
von Okkervil River

Remember
When you were young
How the hero was never hung
Always got away

Remember
How the man used to leave you
Empty-handed
Always, always, let you down

And if you ever
Change your mind
About leaving
In all the times
Remember, remember to change

And don′t you feel sorry (sorry)
About the way it's come
Don′t you worry (worry)
About what you've done


No, just remember
When you were small
How the people
Seem so tall
Always, had their way

Do you can remember
You're not a pawn
For searching
The movie stardom
Always, always, played a part

And if you ever
Feel so sad
And the whole world
It′s driving you mad
Remember, remember, to change

And don′t you feel sorry (sorry)
About the way it's gone
And don′t you worry
About what you've done, no!

Just remember
Remember!
The pains!
Of your family!


I guess I better tune
Thank you very much
(The kid, ah Scotty, here on trumpet)
(Wants to know how the people are doing tonight)
(How are the people doing?)

How are you people feeling out there tonight?
Let′s hear you make some noise, say howl (howl)
What the hell?
What song was it? What song was it cover?
The Lawrence Welk cover

Alright, here's a nice long one
To make you guys go for the Sparks energy drink in the back
Alright, I mean, I really do want to play you
The long one, and I was just joking
About the Sparks energy drink thing
I mean, they are paying me, but I was just joking

But, you know, in order to play it
I need it to be nice and quiet
That′s right, he becomes a prima donna, sorry
That means you!
