Slowly, It's Coming Back Songtext

von Del Amitri

Oh what a famous night but what a shame
The cops got called and told us to behave
But I don't mind if nothing went to waste
Memories are everything when couple's getting made
And from childish misbehaving comes the games that adults play
 
And I could not recall what made me feel like that
But slowly, it is coming back
And I had no luck at all, no love come to that
But luck's such a funny thing: you think you've missed the gold
When slowly, it is coming back
 
And I was saving for some crazy rich kid clown
In a time when the verb "to work" had become an improper noun
And everything I did just dragged me down
From allegiance and obedience comes this feeling I've been drowned
And from juvenile delinquents came the gangs that run this town
 
And I could not recall what made me feel like that
But slowly, it is coming back
And I had no luck at all, no love come to that
But luck's such a funny thing: you think you've missed the gold
When slowly, it is coming back
 
And you were like a baby in a politician's arms
I'm the floating photo that your innocence disarms
 
And you will leave me in the morning, that's okay
So let's just touch 'cause there's not much that we need to say
And I watch this famous night dwindle away
'Cause it's feeling like a kid again that kept bad times at bay
And from some infantile and holding comes the way I feel today
 
And I could not recall what made me feel like that
But slowly, it is coming back
And I had no luck at all, no love come to that
But luck's such a funny thing: you think you've missed the gold
When slowly, it is coming back
