Shriekback - Now Those Days Are Gone lyrics

It sounded good, love, 'til that beautiful song Turned to a plea and a spasm and it all went wrong The coffee grind got bitter, hit you right in the head Tremble like a tambourine poisoned with lead Really dead, love, can't recall what we saw Take a little wake-up, we've been here before And it's all coming round again And we're all flashing back And we do what we have to do Time won't cut no slack We were living in the future Now those days are gone We were kings, we were preachers Now those days are gone We had incubi and succubi Now those days are gone All these pleasures standing by Now those days are gone Well, we thrived on amphetamine, whiskey and gin Taken with a pa**ion stirred and shaken within 'Cos people like us face our demons alike Got that panic in the eye, got that finger in the dyke Now the cheap psychoan*lyst will probe and he'll find The elephant is in the room -we kiss its behind And it's all coming round again And we're all flashing back And it seemed like a good idea 'Til the screen went black We were living in the future Now those days are gone We were kings, we were preachers Now those days are gone We had incubi and succubi Now those days are gone All these pleasures standing by Now those days are gone We were burning through our wishes Now those days are gone We were sharing loaves and fishes Now those days are gone We were high on the honey Now those days are gone Forget about the money Now those days are gone And it's all coming round again And we're all flashing back And we do what we have to do Time won't cut no slack We were living in the future Now those days are gone We were kings, we were preachers Now those days are gone We had incubi and succubi Now those days are gone All these pleasures standing by Now those days are gone We were burning through our wishes Now those days are gone We were sharing loaves and fishes Now those days are gone We were high on the honey Now those days are gone Forget about the money Now those days are gone Now those days are gone Now those days are gone Now those days are gone Now those days are gone
