lyrics

The Others
(Szabo)

since the others won the war - i can’t come ‘round here no more
stay away from everyone - i’m on the run
all the things that i’ve done wrong - used to count them on my thumbs
now they push down on my head - i’m under arrest
they’re making me ride in the back
interrogating me about what happened:

“did you forget where you came from?”
“did you forget where you belong?”

when we met that one last stand - a pane of glass between our hands
we were out of metaphors – we were out of doors
oh, the water was too strong - and the wind was at our front
all the birds flew overhead - the earth turned its back
eroding how we understand each other’s lives

did we forget where we came from?
did we forget where we belonged?
did we forget all we stood for?
could we forget all that?
I understand why, but couldn’t we just try and be friends?

valentine we crossed the line
we both know we cannot go back
a flash of light just ash is left
we both know we were not like that
we both know we were better than that

while the world goes on outside - all the numbers get compiled
you don’t fit the rank and file and neither do i
like the call girls on my street – we’re just trying to make ends meet
one day we’ll be obsolete - like an old tv
gathering dust on the screen
but don’t tell me that that means

we should forget where we came from
we should forget where we belonged
we should forget all we stood for
could we forget all that?
I understand why, but couldn’t we just try and be friends?
