Lately Lyrics

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?
