David Byrne -
Keswick Theatre, Glenside 20-07-94. (Complete & Digitally Remastered For Greatly Enhanced Sound Quality.)
A Long Long Time Ago
And in the land where I grew up
Into the bosom of technology
I kept my feelings to myself
Until the perfect moment comes
Then into your bloodstream I will go
Until I turn into a part of you
Flooding the garden of delights
That was a long, long time ago
That was a long, long time ago
It's not the ending of the world
Only the closing of a discotheque
I used to go three times a week
That was a long, long time ago
Yeah, that was a long, long time ago
And that roaring that you hear
Is only the blood that circles constantly
No, it is not applause, my dear
No, that was a long, long time ago
Then that was a long, long time ago
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
In between stations, I can hear
A million possibilities
It's only the singing of the stars
That burned out a long, long time ago
They burned out a long, long time ago
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
Thank you
Into the bosom of technology
I kept my feelings to myself
Until the perfect moment comes
Then into your bloodstream I will go
Until I turn into a part of you
Flooding the garden of delights
That was a long, long time ago
That was a long, long time ago
It's not the ending of the world
Only the closing of a discotheque
I used to go three times a week
That was a long, long time ago
Yeah, that was a long, long time ago
And that roaring that you hear
Is only the blood that circles constantly
No, it is not applause, my dear
No, that was a long, long time ago
Then that was a long, long time ago
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
In between stations, I can hear
A million possibilities
It's only the singing of the stars
That burned out a long, long time ago
They burned out a long, long time ago
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
Thank you
