You lived in a place long, long ago 

Where nothing moved and time went slow 

And someone sang about a Golden Age 

In Cenetaph Park, drinking in the dark 

This place was the machine that put the iron in your heart 



So we hung around and we hung around 

and we hung around for days 

In the parking lot stoned, stars shone out of phase 

And the rain came down, cassettes wore out, Oh No! 

Then you left town feeling pretty down 

With your headphones and your coat and 

your dirty graduation gown you were 

In the bedroom singing radio songs 

Sing them loud 

Sing them all night, Emily 

You need something to help you along 

Freeze, freeze, freeze Little Golden Age 



I don't miss my Little Golden Age 

'Cause the body takes the heart, takes the heart 

around from place to place 

And this place still stands, this place remains unchanged 

And you can't go back 

Oh, who would want to anyway 



You were in the bedroom singing radio songs 

Sing them loud 

Sing them all night, Emily 

You needed something to help you along 

My Little Golden Age
