Against the Past

Against the Past - Luxuria

Written by：Howard Devoto/Norman Fisher/Jones

Candice morganauer's gone to join

The quick and the dead clever

Tonight we're seeing

Her final film

Her crowning endeavour

She washed herself frees

In mouth watering praise

But we all know

She never grew up

She just shrank sideways

Yesterday was fine I've forgotten it somehow

Last week wouldn't even show up on radar now

Yesterday was fine I've forgotten it somehow

Last week wouldn't even show up on radar now

Last week wouldn't even show up on radar now

Winnie the obscure

He's weighing his own heart

He's been sleeping like calvin coolidge

To keep himself apart

And now he's crying

Old drella is dead and I

I didn't feel a thing

And jude the pooh

With a landslide smile replies

All the more power to him

Under the roofs soon the gutters up above

Even the sparrows are burning up with human love

Hang oofs

Soon man graf to jerf to all

Even the sparrows are burning up with human love

Even the sparrows are burning up with human love

Night of light

It's failing over gringley on the hill

Powders are on the plantation wind

Over dallowgill

We reach the doors to the doubtful city

They close as if in pain

Out on howard devoto boulevard

I remember you and me

And we're kissing in the rain

And it's all so gone

And this could never last

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

Against the past

It's gone

It could never last

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

Against the past

It could never last

It could never last

It could never last
