THE PAST IS ANOTHER COUNTRY歌词完整版
the past is another country, its chancy going there
the past is another country, I don't fancy going there
its where I learned to walk, talk, tie my shoes, the where and the why and the how
took my place in the universe, stood out from the crowd
I've got scars for souvenirs and friends who disappeared
it's where the the signs are all a warning, stained by mothers' tears
(Chorus): my past is another place, where the rivers all run dry
who caused the waste? I confess, I have no alibi
the past is a little bit dreamscape, a little bit like New York
with shifting border lines, and maps that lead you wrong
all my songs were written there, snatched from from mist and cloud
all my honors won there, fought for things I loved
found my voice, loved and lost and learned to love again
the past is another country, fissured by past mistakes
(Chorus)
the past is another country, I couldn't wait to get out
too much Breughel, too much Bosch, not enough Twist and Shout
couldn't meet the expectations, much less change the world
but all my songs were written there, full of storied pearls
and all my children, born and grown and making their own way
yes the past is another country, but I often go back there
(Chorus)
everything I've said and done was done over there
there's not a lawyer in the place who will take my case
I have no alibi
