It must have been something like 11 weeks That we spent up there But still...
That was then and this is now That was then and this is now That was just nostalgia
I used to think I'd never cry Or worry if I said goodbye 'Cos human beings have all Outgrown those basic feelings anyway...
That was then and this is now That was then and this is now That was just nostalgia

The pretty creatures in the streets The pretty creatures that I'd like To eat up for breakfast That's all in the past
I may never have a daughter Cos I've far too much to tell her And far too much to answer to
I want to move into the future Move in to the future Move into the future with you And the politics of love And who I used to dream of That was just nostalgia
I want to move into the future Move in to the future Move into the future with you And the politics of love And who I used to dream of That was just nostalgia
