The term nostalgia describes a yearning for the past, often in idealized form. The word is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain, ache". It was described as a medical condition, a form of melancholy, in the Early Modern period, and became an important trope in Romanticism.
In common, less clinical usage, nostalgia sometimes includes a general interest in past eras and their personalities and events, especially the "good old days," such as a sudden image, or remembrance of something from one's childhood.
The scientific literature on nostalgia is quite thin, but there are a few studies that have attempted to pin down the essence of nostalgia, and the reasons that we feel that warm glow when recalling the past. Smell and touch are also strong evokers of nostalgia and memories in general due to the processing of these stimuli first passing through the amygdala, the emotional seat of the brain. These recollections of our past are usually important events, people we care about, and places where we have spent time. Music can also be a strong trigger of nostalgia.
Mr. Bean is a British comedy television programme series of 14 half-hour episodes written by and starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. Different episodes were also written by Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis and one by Ben Elton. The pilot episode was broadcast on ITV on 1 January 1990, with the last television episode, "Goodnight Mr. Bean" broadcast on 31 October 1995. The final episode, "Hair by Mr. Bean of London", was a video exclusive released on 15 November 1995, but not broadcast in the UK until 2006.
Based on a character originally developed by Atkinson while he was studying for his master's degree at Oxford University, the series follows the exploits of Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as "a child in a grown man's body", in solving various problems presented by everyday tasks and often causing disruption in the process. Bean rarely speaks, and the largely physical humour of the series is derived from his interactions with other people and his unusual solutions to situations. The series was influenced by physical performers such as Jacques Tati and comic actors from silent films.
I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I always used to dream of the past
But like they say yesterday never comes
Sometimes there's a song in my brain
And I feel that my heart knows the refrain
I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time
With this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm caught in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come

And here is Ivanovich
in his rocket ship
Spinning helplessly
up above the earth
While his heart is splintered
All the girls of winter
are buried in their coats anonymous
While winter girls are waiting
Ivanovich in high rotation
He is just another star
up in the sky
While the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation
of something long ago and far away
Like general Jackson's arm
it's buried on some farm
While the fever
pushes words from his lips
And by the drunken river
where the soldiers shiver
We rest beneath the shade of the trees.
While winter girls are saying
each of us a tiny nation
You're just another star
but so am I.
While the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation

We gotta go back to where it started off
For ? this place and take my chance
We gotta smile for we are (? children's?) man
We'll do the thing, we'll do ? happy playing
Just see the ? like rock'n'roll is here again
No matter how we try to do this song
No ? those kids may shake their hands
They're satisfied ?
No matter how we try to do this song
No ? those kids may shake their hands
I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky

From the ashes he returns
Through the seal of the dark
He looks upon the enchanting moon
His lips are dry
And crave for human blood
Through all centuries
We see the horizon clearly
Deep in our hearts
Under the shelter of a tree
It lives in the well of time
The ancient dread of non-existence
Close your eyes, it leads the way
(To the) Treasure throne of memories
This is the emptiness
This is life
Make a final sign
Yesterday I found something in my room
It was a G.I. Joe comic book that I had
And suddenly a feeling overcame my gloom
And I realized how things were back in the past
and I'll never feel the same
and I'll always feel the pain
of nostalgia
because I know someday I'll find inside
another reason why
I still want to hold on
And so I've realized what I want to be
No matter how pathetic I may sound to you
But at least I still can hold on to those memories
And now I've found a way to make it through
and I'll never feel the same
and I'll always feel the pain
of nostalgia
because I know someday I'll find inside
another reason why
I still want to hold on
I know I know I cannot be
Trapped inside a world of yesterday
But you can't tell me it's not true
From the ashes he returns
Through the seal of the dark
He looks upon the enchanting moon
His lips are dry
And crave for human blood
Through all centuries
We see the horizon clearly
Deep in our hearts
Under the shelter of a tree
It lives in the well of time
The ancient dread of non-existence
Close your eyes, it leads the way
(To the) Treasure throne of memories
This is the emptiness
This is life
Make a final sign
(And) Leave the world behind
She was my best friend
She was my best friend
We won't reach up again
We broke all our plans
You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia
We can't talk about old days everytime our children'll play
What kind of memories becomes of such a melancholy day
You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia, you're just good for one day
I tried to leave you many times I almost succeeded once
Dreams are coming one by one to ask me what I've done
Now I hear it in the wind when old news are coming in
She did so well without me but I wonder if she's free
You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
You've got a face, a soul, a name
but if you stay we both will go insane
Nostalgia, you're just good for one day
Voices heard in fields of green
Their joy their calm and luxury
Are lost within the wanderings of my mind
I'm cutting branches from the trees
Shaped by years of memories
To exorcise their ghosts from inside of me
The sound of waves in a pool of water
I'm drowning in my nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia
The sound of waves in a pool of water
I'm drowning in my nostalgia, nostalgia
I've got the skin of a shark
And I'm gonna make a muscle.
Just holding onto filth
Of the pornagraphic slut.
I've got an ill will
And a pair of brass knuckles.
_________ cutting through ribs.
It's a tour de'force.
Nostalgia (4 times)
___________ on to grease
Cause grease is the word
And I'm never never sure
But I'm sure you're never right.
It's the secret agent man,
And a cartoon hero.

Nostalgia
[Verse 1]
Con la vista sobre el mar,
Busca entre las olas una seсal,
Algo que le ayude a olvidar la verdad.
[Verse 2]
Toda una vida de lбgrimas.
Cede a la locura y luego calla,
Por amor a un dia que jamбs volverб.
[Verse 3]
Cuando la rosa muera,
Calmarб sus ansias en letras vanas,
Por amor a un dia que jamбs volverб.
Por amor a un dia que jamбs volverб.
(With her eyes fixed on the sea,
She looks for a sing among the waves,
Something to make her forget the truth,
An entire life filled with tears.
She surrenders to the madness,
Then goes quiet,
For the love of a day, that will never come back.
When the rose dies,
She'll find peace in those useless words,
For the love of a day, that will never come back,
....
One day perhaps we will come back to this country and bring our children to show them you know
And what we had to sacrifice to be in that country you know.
But I think in the initial state that we had a lot of struggle
But with god's grace and his kindness we are okay now and our children are okay as well
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
I can feel your dreams, dreams
I can see you
I can touch your memories
But I can't hear you
I can feel your dreams, dreams
I can see you
I can touch your memories
But I can't hear you
Words that fall like ? ? ?
Worlds that echo in your eyes
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
Words that fall like tears from trees
Worlds that echo in your eyes
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't hear you
I can't see you
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
Thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
I can't reach across a thousand years
I can't taste
I can't feel
am i waiting for nothing at all?
hawhee, hawhee, hawhee, oh baby.
and what are you saving yourself for?
hawhee, hawhee.
oh my little one, don't be ashamed with my heart wide open.
you can pour yourself in me.
now there's nothing wrong with that that i can see.
my heart feels life. nostalgia.
i wish we could go on and on and on and on and on.
listening to the echoes remaining.
i hear your voice inside my head.
now i know that we've just begun.
again i reach out my hands to you.
staring through the shadows on you face.
i wonder are we heading to that place between nowhere
Latest being drowned
In fictive degradation
Coming depression revolved
Around an Earth
Nostalgia excludes the whole
As spleen takes over me
Resound, the echoes of my threnodies
And then the fact of being
Has no longer meaning
The hymns of light
They'll sing once I'll be gone
Reverie appears cause
Existence collapse
Nostalgia
Sadness shall obnuilate
Sadness, feels, the desolated
Desperately lost within
Lament, pain and misery
The more lies burden lives,
The more I am dying
The realm of light
I'll reach once I'll...
Latest feeling drowned
In lucid contradiction
Coming relation revolved
Around a heart
Nostalgia excludes the whole
I'm still sitting here it's twelve o'clock on the dot and I've been at it for days but see I don't know where to start you'd be amazed at the things that crossed my mind esa noche see I contemplated suicide and overdosed on roches kick back firme but it still ain't the same don't hear you calling my name and who's to blame mijo I gave you everything and I was left with nada lost in the fog me perdi en una nube de mariguana eyes became foggy simon I tried to hold it back but I'm broken down in pieces and patron is where it's at I just could'nt understand you
You said it was forever
Would you leave my side?
You always told me never so trip out.
When the days turn into nights they both end up wasted bottle after bottle see I didn't want to face it you were gone and I was on my own many came to take your place but my heart was turned to stone I didn't feel like loving anyone cause after you I died I moved on walked away you can't say I didn't try I tried to make it work until the very end and once again you were all out of excuses to pretend but I don't blame you it's firme you threw it all away just like my homeboy duende said "I'd rather be alone instead" you made me what I am and I learned to live without you and even though it hurt to say good-bye I'm cool without you.
It’s been life, too sepia
All expenses, so much deeper
Take a sip of old port wine
Feel them out what you design
Reminisce about what we’ve done
And of what’s been what we’ve won
Recall those party nights
Where the highs were higher than high
Oh but come, come
Who can match what we have done?
No nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Oh, nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Let’s redefine the past now
Crackle up your gramophone
Reel around romantic tones
Sit back in your rocking chair
Warm beneath your gloving(?) pair
Take a sigh of deep content
Tenderly our past is spent
Subtle hints and blatant lies
Exaggerate those high highs
Oh but come, come
Who can match what we have done?
No nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Oh, nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Let’s redefine the past now
But as the hours get older
And your warm thoughts grow colder
As mystic thoughts get bolder
I know I’m far too sober, far too sober
Sober, sober, sober
And now
You find
The time
You haven’t slept
You, you grasp at song
That'll let you live in memories
Oh, nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Oh, nostalgia
Let’s redefine the past
Let’s redefine the past now
Rest around your open fire
So warm and happily tired
Slip out of your leather brogues
Rest the blisters on your toes
Drug over this aching sense
Of painful present tense
Talk as if pathetic highs
Mean that we’ve had worthwhile lives
It was the shock of the new
That kept the latest two
At the top of the charts all summer
It must have been something like 11 weeks
That we spent up there
But still...
That was then and this is now
That was then and this is now
That was just nostalgia
I used to think I'd never cry
Or worry if I said goodbye
'Cos human beings have all
Outgrown those basic feelings anyway...
That was then and this is now
That was then and this is now
That was just nostalgia
So don't you worry
About the pretty creatures in the street
The pretty creatures that I'd like
To eat up for breakfast
The pretty creatures in the streets
The pretty creatures that I'd like
To eat up for breakfast
That's all in the past
I may never have a daughter
Cos I've far too much to tell her
And far too much to answer to
I want to move into the future
Move in to the future
Move into the future with you
And the politics of love
And who I used to dream of
That was just nostalgia
I want to move into the future
Move in to the future
Move into the future with you
And the politics of love
And who I used to dream of
No medical care, nor venereal diseases
Year by year my nostalgia increases
There was no pollution or dog shit in the parks
Ladies were sluts and plugs had more sparks
Bosoms were and trousers had creases
Year by year my nostalgia increases
Luv in the air and the air was cleaner
Long was the hair and still nicer diminer.
Sometimes old times are better than new times
Sometimes old times are better than new times
More blue collar workers
Less white collar crimes
Sometimes old times are better than new times
Armed bartender unarmed polices
Year by year my nostalgia increases
Vast amount of things to discover
No reason to stay home without the lover
Legal to wed your own little nieces
Year by year my nostalgia increases
Shortwave radio, no deadly television
Five o'clock in the morning
one fast call
You said we'd meet
at your place, in your room
Noone would be there
so I walked up the stairs
and you stood by the door
cooked some food for me
and that was sweet
yes that was sweet
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
Get out of me or stay there forever
Music brandy and your eyes
all through the night
then you laid me down
or I laid you down
there must have been some mistake
but you touched my hair
and then a pain took over
a two years old pain
and that's not sweet
no that's not sweet
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
Get out of me or stay there forever
Now in this house again
on the same bed
I must not go back there
I think I owe you an apology
for the first time in my life
I think I owe an apology
I miss you so
give me a way to tell you this
cause that's not sweet
no that's not sweet
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
A house on this street withers
A child's room is filled with dreamless sleep
There is a mirror there
It leads to the other side
Lead me there, I will follow you
Just don't let them see that I've gone
Just don't let them find me
A child's room is empty, but not forgotten
Just don't let them see that I've gone
Just don't let them find me
Please don't let them find me
It hurts, it hurts no more...
What’s wrong in here? why can’t we keep pace?
In this world of improbity,
your chicks and money and fame they trample our drive,
your shameless persistence is causing us to fight!
The nostalgia I live on,
music was respected and made a change
Nowadays we’re stepped on,
by the cults of today!
Still we give it all,
our soul our sweat,
you can’t bring us down!
Slowly we develop, and strengthen our group,
it’s just a matter of days before we trample you!
I count the years of lonelyness
But my soul feels no pain, no wish to return
That want you really want you can not find on earth
Is the chosen way correct?
All of you life you will regret the day
You've made up your mind to leave the place
Which gave you all Come back, don't think about tomorrow
Come back there where the hearts are full of life
Where you'll find your inner balance
Come back only one more time Come back and feel the difference in yourself
Up to the sky and look to the clouds
Down to the earth and tell me your feelings
I know my friend the view is the same
In different places
But what your soul is longing for will never happen
When you do not change your view of life
Follow your heart, try to live your own life
But never forget the place which gave you all
Before the long way abroad
[CHORUS: x2]
Just ride, feel that vibe
Y'all get live ladies, we gon' party now!
Just ride, feel that vibe
Y'all get live niggaz, we gon' party now!
Man, I remember when hip-hop was all about partyin'
And any place it played was a spot to move your body in
Started in the park and it had everybody droppin' in
Now brothers wanna squeeze it of its life and try to darken it
With boring ass raps, when nobody is hearing it
Soundin' like they the method for a science experiment
Y'all heads ain't been around to see what Dan has seen
After writing lyrics, we used to make dance routines
'Member the "House Party" scene when Kid 'N' Play was battlin'?
And after when the rappin' end, they gave each other dap again
Then they started scatterin' cuz nothing really mattered then
Except the jaw jabberin' with ladies just to dance with them
Dudes with dap was based on who could rap
And who could best imitate the moves of Scoob & Scrap
So while you choose to chat about how much you were a baller
We would argue over who's high top fade was taller
When designs were in, on my head, I shaved a heart
And told your girl, she's the reason for the way it was carved
If you miss the way hip-hop used to sound
Gather everyone you know, cuz yo...
We gon' party now!
[CHORUS]
Man, I remember when hip-hop was all about the positive
When topics of our songs were socially provocative
Racism was targeted as something to discard but it
Seems today hatred is the way hip-hop is marketed
Too many rappers talkin' shit, what's they malfunction?
Over ten years later, we still headed for self-destruction
Gangsta rap, not many MC's would try
That's why, to this day, we say "peace" instead of "goodbye"
A tradition that's been conditioned from back in the days
When in school, for class projects I'd be rappin' for A's
Braggin' always how we could change the world with a tune
But now I can't watch a video when mom's in the room
I hope it's gone soon cuz everybody's shootin' and killin'
And braggin' about it, I swear rappers are the stupidest villains
Dude, it was ill when cats like Rakim and Kane slammed
When the West Coast All-Stars were in the same gang
When X-Clan jams made a vex man dance
Arms crossed, legs apart is how you'd check Dan's stance
If you hate the road hip-hop's going down
Join the Mono man dem because....
We gon' party now!
[CHORUS]
Man, I remember when hip-hop was all about battlin'
Except it didn't involve the death of a rapper then
Ain't no need for scrappin' man, they was makin' classic jams
Wars of words to prove no one was in a class with them
To be mic champions' where real props stand
Or battlin' for a name like them two Roxannes
LL and Kool Moe Dee, Juice Crew and BDP
But it seems today the battle is the world against me
Cuz nobody cares about lyrics, what used to be wack
Is what everybody seems to be pickin' up off the rack
Rappers rhymin' so soft, they should be one of the Spices
Somehow people support the modern day Vanilla Ices
Usin' devices like clothing seemingly priceless
The fame I might miss, but I must keep comin' with niceness
Cuz I ain't tryin' to be one of hip-hop's clowns
Keep it raw even when I roar...
We gon' party now!
[CHORUS]
It's hip-hop y'all, to the top y'all
Girl... If I tell the stars
I could hold you close
And we could go back to there
You will dream of me
And when I awake for you
Just for one more time
Let me drown with you
Girl... There's reason to doubts
And I'm not the one
To hold your hand for all
But for now I know
I can't for only you
But for now I know
I say hello to the summertime
And you may think I'm doing fine
But I don't know
It used to always make me laugh
But now I'll sign an autograph
To the way things used to be
Do you hear my cry?
Nostalgia nostalgia
Hold my hand cause i've got a ways to go
But I can't stand to go on like this so long
Nostalgia
Now I can plainly see
The way the conflict used to be neverending
I always thought that in this case
To keep a smile on my face though that's not how I feel
Do you hear my cry?
Nostalgia nostalgia
Don't let me down
I've always faced the truth
Now why can't I just ignore what I've found?
Nostalgia
I often ride the choppy waves of change
But the reward I know is much more great
Don't want to give up I cannot give in
I must maintain my faithfulness
I've seen the darkness and it's consuming
I cannot bring him back to then
I see old spirits rise, in brown eyes
A violet smile, a lack of control
We failed to take the chance
Long ago, for a day like this, I would have given
All my lifes future bliss
In the past I longed for futile days like this
I see old spirits rise, in your eyes
A violet smile, a lack of control
Now we know what we have lost
Short ago, for a day like this, I would have given
All my lifes future bliss
[Verse 1]
lost but not forgotten as the moon closes its doors for the day
I look up to see a small glint of what I used to be
the burnt memories of the past I know they cannot last
I got lost in my hopes and dreams and now life isn’t what it seems
[Chorus]
Hey, what can I
say, what happened?
I may be older but I find it’s hard to climb
it’s hard to climb back into my cubicle, my cubicle-shaped mind
[Verse 2]
as I stare up at the orange skies I often wonder why
why can’t I go back to my childhood
when nothing needed to be understood, life was so simple and so plain
all I can do now is walk down memory lane
[Repeat chorus]
[Verse 3]
I lie awake in my bed as thoughts of old adventures swim through my head
remembering when I had no worries;
I had no troubles or responsibilities
why do we have to change? Can’t things stay the same?
I don't feel any different
After all these years
Still got the same tastes
Still got the same fears
Looking at my youth
Through nostalgia lense
Memories distort
Glimmer and bend
Still imprisoned
My mind under lock
My faith gets tested
My wrath is sloth
The time that I've spent
Is more important than now
Circular memory goes round
And round and round
Present don't fit me right
Somewhere else in my mind
Present don't fit me right
The future's a dimming light
A dimming light
Yo, what's up Marco?
What's up Brooklyn?
Filthy rich
[Verse 1: Masta Ace]
People in the audience, Masta Ace the name
I write rhymes and insert them inside your vein
They run through your bloodstream, get inside your brain
Cause I first put my name up inside the train
My mic control has been unprecendented
And you wrong if you thought you was was the best that did it
See I just started messing with it, I been married to the game since '88
You just commited
The entire fate of the whole Empire States
Into hands of a man that's here to inspire hate
Heed for the state of the music
And all these other cats looking for another way to abuse it
I wake you up like a gun in the face
I'm just here to let you know who's like running the place
And everywhere that I preform and do a show
As long as you know
[Chorus: in cuts and scratches]
"This is for those that don't know the half"
"Backtrack turn back the page"
"Let me show y'all new rappers"
"That's how the game go"
"This is for those that don't know the half"
"Backtrack turn back the page"
"Don't be missing any word I say"
[Verse 2: Masta Ace]
You love to hear the story, again and again
How it all got started from beginning to end
When cats used to run in a pack and slaughter
The rooftop, Union Square and the latin quarter
And if you came alone than your chain was gone
Unless you was from the hood and your name was known (yap)
And even than you was taking a risk
They would rush you for your chain while you was taking a piss
Hip hop used to be so thick in the air
When it was there you ain't even needed to kick in a snare
It could have been finger snaps and hand claps
But nowadays it feels a little different when a man raps
The track commence and these cats are french
The media lacking sense, what I rap's intense AND
I be the best in these rap events
And how I got this far?
It's called experience, come on
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Masta Ace]
Yo it's the Ace in the flesh, of course I'm fresh
Oh you thought that I was rotten?
Huh, you must have gotten a bad sack of weed cause I track your speed
I run up, fondle your wife and smack your seed
I've been a star since Pat Benatar
And I still want the house, the boat, the truck AND the car
The limousine with the big screen and the bar
I'm trying to eat, watch it pour on like vine-gar
Cause I'm old and grey, control the day
I'm kinda like the light cause I show the way
I'm the one to collect the fonds and hold the pay
The kind that fold away than I stroll the way
Shit, I can't name all the hits we charted
That crazy ass Crooklyn ass shit, we got it
We came here tonight to get started
To go, act I'll and get re-tarded
[Chorus and srcatches: to fade out]

Absorbing your words
Battles raging within me
Absorbing your words
Is gradually tearing my soul in two
There isn't much I could do
Despite my fear it helps to
Share my nostalgia with you
There isn't time to stand still
We are constantly changing
You're draining my will
I find myself rearranging my points of view
There isn't much I could do
Despite my fear it helps to
Share my nostalgia with you
Tomorrow I remember yesterday
Tomorrow, remember yesterday
Tomorrow, remember yesterday
Tomorrow I remember yesterday
Whatever lies in my past
Or what is yet in the future
Time passes so fast
Suppose there's always the danger
I won't pull through
I'll have to think this thing through
Despite my fear it helps to
Share my nostalgia with you
Tomorrow I'll remember yesterday
Tomorrow I remember yesterday
Tomorrow, remember yesterday
Tomorrow, remember yesterday
Tomorrow, remember yesterday...
verse 1
when you grow up your heart dies
i wish that was mine
but its ally sheedys line
if ally sheedy ever wants to talk
ill walk from Liverpool to new york
ill walk back i promise you
if molly ringwald turns up two
maybe im not in denial
ive heard nostalgia is back in style
chorus
im having one of those days
you get when your older
a word called nostalgia
just seems to take over
it leaves me hot
it leaves me cold
but it never seems
to leave me alone
verse 2
oh nostalgia
the things you do
im watching 10 things
i hate about you
and if i make it
to new york
could Larisa oleynik
join our talk
verse 3
i know i should look forward
and not look back
but nostalgia has a habit
of not letting you do that
having the power to make you see
that things aint what they use to be
these days never seem the same
I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As I sit and bathe in the wave of
nostalgia for an age yet to come
I always used to dream of the past
But like they say yesterday never comes
Sometimes there's a song in my brain
And I feel that my heart knows the refrain
I guess it's just the music that brings on
nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time
With this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I look I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm caught in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come
Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Whatever happened to the sixties when the world was hip
You boogied down to the Stones and the Beatles and shit
You used to lay in the park, relax and kick off your
shoes
Perhaps light up a joint and listen to Rhythm and Blues
yeah
I'm Stevie Bee, Maroon Town with me
And don't forget the devious drummer will amaze
Because time won't stop
Because time will fly
But time will answer every question why
Why every woman, every man in the sixties span
Will always have a dance for their favourite band And
if you're thinking what the hell do we know
While we play this funky shit on our stereo
You know we're speaking of Nostalgia
You see we're speaking of Nostalgia
I'm speaking, Maroon Town speaking, II hope you're
speaking
Can't you see we're speaking yeah, yeah oh yeah
That's Nostalgia
So take time out, scream and shout
Because the fabulous brother and sisters
Are turning it out
Do you remember when you used to go bopping
You would sit back down to watch Batman and Robin
All those silly crazy things that you thought you were
doing
Coz you used to watch the Prisoner with Patrick
McGoohan
That's right hold tight
We're speaking of Nostalgia
I'm speaking, I hope you're speaking
Can't you see we're speaking
Are you speaking, yeah, oh Nostalgia
Chelsea boots and mohair suits
Trendy people flashing their loot
Taking the blues watching the news
Demonstrations, airing your views
Doctor Spock, Captain Kirk
Generation that loved to flirt
Getting down to the funky sound of the one and only
James Brown
Mods and Rockers having fight
Zooming around on your Vespa bike
Out of touch out of reach
Out of their heads on Brighton Beach
Flower Power, paint your face Baby boom for the human
race
Mini skirts and magazines
Goodbye Miss Norma Jean
Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Doris Day
Walking, walking down the street
Talking to someone you meet
Talk about the Go Go beat
Twist and shout, stamp your feet
Crazy colours, kaleidoscope blue
And don't forget the goddam Who
We're speaking of Nostalgia
I' m speaking, I hope you're speaking
Can't you see we're speaking Are you speaking, yeah, oh
There’s a bed, a TV and a trail in this room
There’s pictures right in the wall with all the people
you knew.
I’d have brought you something if I knew just what to
chose.
But talking I know that something to distract from this
moon.
It’s not gonna get better, it’s not gonna get better.
It’s not gonna get better at all.
It’s not gonna get better, it’s not gonna get better,
It’s not gonna get better at all.
Who’s gonna tell you why you lose?
Who’s gonna tell you why you lose?
You can never know how much it hurts to see
That there are all these semantic moments before I
believe.
Wait, wait for something, for something.
Wait, wait for something, for something.
The days come back and I am silent
To the memories of my mind.
Regret holds me captive, with these dreams and whispers,
From the fairy tale inside.
Colored panels on the windows of remembering,
Grasping faintly at the shadows that mean everything,
Stained glass mirrors, dark and shattered.
Simple eloquence and elements are offering
To the altar of my alter ego's empathy in this prison of nostalgia.
Wiping mud away from eyes that only I can see,
Staring straight into the brilliance of reality,
Present minded, plain and simple.
The routine of my existence only complicates
Words I'm writing on this paper as I formulate
I wake up from a dream and am searching for you, I begin my trip now, leaving my vow behind
In order to escape the sadness I expected to abandon destiny Again and again this me lies dormant inside my chest
I arrived at the end after struggling, the fragments of tears shining brightly I can't cry about reality I take it in and live strongly like this
I search while walking alone today Holding the memories of the summer with you I wonder how much it is? Although we're far apart We're both alive in the same time
The rays of the summer sun shine softly, They illuminating both our memories aren't they? Those days which were too gentle, They are bound tight Inside my breast
(I don't make promise you, I don't promise myself till I love you I'm waiting just by myself, For you to understand)
I arrived at the end after struggling, the fragments of tears shining brightly To those broken days, If the possibility of them returning comes true
In search of you I walk alone Holding the memories of the summer with you I wonder how much it is? Although we're far apart We're both alive in the same time
Those days with you that have sparkled Someday they'll once again return So no matter how far we are apart Please let's not forget the same dream
Until that time when someday I'll surely go to meet you...
