Your Possible Pasts Lyrics - Final Cut - Pink Floyd

They flutter behind you, your possible pasts 

Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost 

A warning to anyone 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."

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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?
