The Past by Teenage Fanclub Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rolling through the city sprawl
On a late night train
The moon will survive us all
Waiting for a friend to call
I'm adrift again
I search for nothing at all

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Seduced by a friendly fire
I just watch the room glow
Machines couldn't take me higher
Don't want to be a lonely liar
With a living tombstone
Your warmth fills my desire
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I wake up to the morning star
Embraced by phosphorescence
My dreams stay where they are
I now know where to start
No longer lost and guessing
Revealed by an open heart

[Chorus]
Modern life corrodes us all
You know that it's true
Give yourself a wake-up call
You know what to do
Memory retains it all
Your know that it's true
Give yourself a wake-up call
Let the past come back to rescue you
[Outro]
The past come back to rescue you
The past come back to rescue you
The past comes back to rescue you
