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