And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so

small and all the gardens That had trees and stolen apples
C Am C G
now have small businesses flourishing in cinder blocks
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name and hand you a gold watch
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name but it doesn't sound like much

And you'll never discover why it's like an old lover
G Am Bm C
you can't touch anymore It doesn't mean much anymore

A scratch in the wallpaper but it's all been wallpapered over

Down at the newsagents it's all pornography
C Am C
G
And you try to get high again but it's like time-lapse photography

Then they will call your name and hand you a medal

Photographs with a glossy finish letters lovers never finished
C Am C G
And there in a dusty drawer a necktie you once wore

And a girl you tried to court made you feel about two feet short
C Am C
G
Where is she now today? What would she have to say?
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name and hand you a pension
G Am Bm C
A bottle of pills that guarantee life extension
Em C Bm Am
and give you a mention in the local boy makes good section
G Am Bm C
But all the old news is like print stains across your mind

when you go back in time
