And time stood still

july was prettier than anything

and though we lived beyond the end of the world

with motorways and wasteland all around

at least it was ours



Yeah time stood still

and every morning was the same old thrill

will I see you again will you speak

or let them devils do that for you?

just let me wrap my tongue around this taste

the picture you gave never goes away



And you gave your life to meaningless things

and all that you dream about but never will see

and here you once laid on your back

in the yellow sunburnt swaying grass



Yeah time stands still

ten years passes just like that

should I come up with some conclusion over what has happened

well somewhere in america they still put poison in their foreheads

for fifteen more minutes of fame

so it hasn't changed

it hasn't changed

it's still the same

still the same



And you give your life to meaningless things

and all that you dream about but never will see

and here you once laid on your back

in the yellow sunburnt swaying grass

in the yellow sunburnt swaying grass

in the yellow sunburnt swaying grass
