Lately

British Sea Power

Lately you seem like another language

Are you in trouble, are you in trouble again

And you know how they say

The past is a foreign country

How can we go there

How can we go where we once went



Have I been standing here for so long

Natura's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong



So which way

Do I go to get out of here

Avoiding land mines, and all the other stuff round here

Replacing Hercules with the heroic sounds of Formby

Remove the tunics touch, stood aside from the putch

Stood aside from history



Have I been standing here for so long

Natura's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong



Through the Kategaat, maybe Outer Java

Oh did you wonder if these days will stay true

All through the years, all through the dead scenes

All through the memories, across the memories, melodies, melodies



Have I been standing here for so long

Natura's found a way of telling you that it was going wrong



Do you like my megalithic rock?

Do you like my prehistoric Rock?

Do you like my teutonic Rock?

Do you like my hygienic rock?

Do you like my sterile rock?

Do you like my Megalithic Rock?



Yeah!
