Lyrics Teenage Fanclub – The Past

Rolling through the city sprawl
On a late night train
The moon will survive us all

Waiting for a friend to call

Modern life corrodes us all
You know that it’s true
Give yourself a wake-up call
Let the past come back to rescue you

Seduced by a friendly fire
I just watch the window
Machines couldn’t take me higher
Don’t wanna to be a lonely liar
With a living tombstone
Your warmth fills my desire

Modern life corrodes us all
You know that it’s true
Give yourself a wake-up call
Let the past come back to rescue you

I wake up to the morning star
Embraced by false phosphorescence
My dreams stay where they are
I don’t know where to start
Alone and lost and guessing
Revealed by an open heart

Modern life corrodes us all
You know that it’s true
Give yourself a wake-up call
You know what it’ll do

Let the past come back to rescue you
The past come back to rescue you
The past come back to rescue you
The past comes back to rescue you
