Life and Times - Bob Mould

Life and Times Lyrics

Small pieces of truth
Whispered on the dance floor
Lift the hazy window for a moment
Fresh air makes you nervousWhy'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 doingThe pigment of your eyes
Water color flourish moonbeam blue
The smell of your breath
Each day I get more used to your presenceYou'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 protectOh 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 timesI 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 liningThese simple things let your heart feel, yeah
Oh, these quiet times let your heart sing, yeahOh, 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, ohhWhy'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 doingThe old life and times
The old life and times
The old life and times
The old, the old life and times, ohh
