1999 Songtext

von Shout out Louds

I do remember - like a punch in the face,
I've never felt so alive since 1999.
The time when we got it all out.

How can I forget the nights we killed
Every summer night, you know the sun never sets around here.
That's what we wait for all year.

Your band came to town, I was too young to know,
You were younger than I am now in 1983.
You came home with a black eye.

Look behind you, they are after you,
Close your eyes,
Use your sharp tools and high stakes,
They are far, far, far behind.
Get them out of your mind.

This is who I ever was and always been,
Original, the truth, what else,
A living legend, always been
Somehow just corrected, polite and defected.

I'm not complaining, but I'm not making it easy,
I think you understand - I never want this to end.
And I have kept my promises.

How can I forget, shaking every memory,
Looking back, when the sun never set around here.
And we waited all year.

This is who I ever was and always been,
Original, the truth, what else,
A living legend, always been
Somehow just corrected, polite and defected.

Original - oh oh oh, same old,
Living legend - oh oh oh,
Never been so close before.

What they say is not always right,
Original, you know what's right,
Living legend, living dead.
Somehow, somehow.
