lyrics

Every silver sucker's got a golden age
A time when they didn't feel like a dog caged
When men were men and wars were won
And every day had twenty-three hours of sun
But if you went and took a trip on down
You'd find you're now allergic to your hometown
And the cracks in the sidewalk and the sleepers in doors
Are just a little harder to forget and ignore

Photogenic memory - doesn't ring true
Is it the year you miss or is it younger you?
Photogenic memory - pictures a lie
Everything looks clearer in your own mind's eye

Every single sucker’s got a golden girl
Made him feel like he was the king of the world
Tied you up in knots, threw away the key
Sent your heart racing to a lover’s Grand Prix
But if you read between the lines of those scented love letters
Fear was the only thing that tied you together
And the passion dried up like your heart was congealed
Til all that was good had been completely concealed

Photogenic memory - doesn't ring true
Is it the girl you miss or is it younger you?
Photogenic memory - pictures a lie
Everything looks clearer in your own mind's eye

Don't forget the pit when you remember the peach
Don't forget the crowds when you remember the beach
Don't forget the smoke when you remember the fire
Don’t forget the sharps when you remember the choir
Don’t forget the nights when you remember the days
Don’t forget the crash when you remember the haze
Memory is nothing but a shattered lens
That could make lemonade from the world’s end!
