Pink Floyd Lyrics...
Your Possible Pasts
Album: The Final Cut
[[Cattle truck noises]-
"Ranks! Fire!"
-
-
They flutter behind you Your possible pasts
-
Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost
-
A warning to any one still in command
-
Of their possible future to take care
-
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
-
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
-
-
Do you remember me ? How we used to be ?
-
Do you think we should be closer ?
-
-
She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
-
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
-
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
-
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
-
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand
-
He said, " I was just a child then , now I'm only a man ."
-
-
Do you remember me ? How we used to be ?
-
Do you think we should be closer ?
-
-
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
-
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
-
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
-
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
-
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
-
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
-
-
Do you remember me ? How we used to be ?
-
Do you think we should be closer ?
-
