Life And Times

Bob Mould · Life And Times [2009]

Small pieces of truth

Whispered on the dance floor

Lift the hazy window for a moment

Fresh air makes you nervous



Why'd you have to come around

And turn my whole world upside down?

You're wrecking me and everything

You don't even know what you're doing



The pigment of your eyes

Water color flourish moonbeam blue

The smell of your breath

Each day I get more used to your presence



You're complicating things by being here

I wasn't planning on this

Well, somehow you're getting into my parts

That piece of my heart I protect



Oh well, what the fuck?

What kicked up all this dust?

You're taking me back to the places I've left behind

The old, the old life and times



I need to find my fantastic place

The dream, don't try to take my dream away

When I grow up, I want to keep my dream

In a leather covered box with a blue velvet lining



These simple things let your heart feel, yeah

Oh, these quiet times let your heart sing, yeah



Oh, what the fuck?

What kicked up all this dust?

You're taking me back to the places I've left behind

The old life and times

The old, the old life and times

Oh well, ohh, ohh



Why'd you have to come around

And turn my whole world upside down?

You're wrecking me and everything

You don't even know what you're doing



The old life and times

The old life and times

The old life and times

The old, the old life and times, ohh
