Songtext zu 'These Spectacles Reveal The Nostalgics' von The Hives

Where were you when the world stopped moving?
To one side waiting wearily through it alone?

Only life you ever knew
Looking back at what you used to do
Pass a dump along the road
Rearview mirror turn it into gold

You all grew up on the radio
And all the moments that i missed
When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go
They are nothing compared to this

'cause when you don't wake up for nothing
Then nothing's all you get
And then when it's all over you're gonna know
It was the best that you had yet

Wrapped up in a blanket so soothing
You've stopped but the meter's still moving along

But all ain't quite on the eastern front
March in time with your commandant
Listen up to the latest blast
And let it wipe out your past

Got your mind sppining loop de loop
And it feels like a monkey jumping through a hoop

Here's your moment
Wait a moment
And the moment is gone
And then you forgot what it was that you want

You all grew up on the radio
And all the moments that i missed
When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go
They are nothing compared to this

And you all grew up on the radio
And all the moments that i missed
When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go
They are nothing compared to this

'cause when you don't wake up for nothing
Then nothing's all you get
And then when it's all over you're gonna know
It was the best that you had yet

'cause we're.. still... here!
