Lately ringtone on your mobile phone

Lately you seem like another language

Are you in trouble, are you in trouble again

And you know how they say

The past is a foreign country

How can we go there

How can we go where we once went

Have I been standing here for so long

Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong

So which way do I go to get out of here

Avoiding land mines, and all the other stuff round here

Replacing Hercules with the heroic sounds of Formby

Remove the tunics touch, stood aside from the putch

Stood aside from history

Have I been standing here for so long

Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong

Through the Kategaat, maybe Outer Java

Oh did you wonder if these days will stay true

All through the years, all through the dead scenes

All through the memories, across the memories, melodies, melodies Have I been standing here for so long

Nature's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong
