Looking at this world I've made I don't feel there's much good in feeling proud today And when I think of how we talked How we started out I feel a little bit lesser inside Looking now at this careful mess Looking at this room Nothing ever seems to change Oh, looking at this photograph Things were better then, things were all so different then. You can kick me, you can punch me You can say I speak the truth You will never, never ever Find out where it hurts. Oh we were young and free We had things they couldn't even dream about The fields were the greatest things I ever, ever saw and more I ever saw in this whole world All dressed up and no place to go Always somewhere we can't go You and I just sat down there All we did was sit down there. And why, never saw, never knew? Why, didn't you, didn't you? Why, never saw, never knew? Why? The lorries that drive by now Keep me awake They've kept me awake for far too long Long distance travel wears me out Long distance travel tires me Their sound is a sound I know too well Every day gets a little longer Talk, talk, talk and talk some more You and I just sat down there All we did was sit down there And why, never saw, never knew? Why, didn't you, didn't you? Why, never saw, never knew? Why?
