Testo 20 Years Too Late - Edwyn Collins

Testo della canzone 20 Years Too Late (Edwyn Collins), tratta dall'album Doctor Syntax

Hello, chaos, my old friend
We finally got there in the end
I found a loophole in the law
I stalled and then I crawled through
Never frightened at that noose you tightened
I felt enlightened, my senses heightened
Learned all this time you've been inclined
To watch me from the sidelines
Miles from the frontline
Hoping that some sniper had picked off this magic piper
To shoot the messenger
That's what's obsessing you
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
Well, where I lived, I make no bones
We're several feet below a stone
Far from appalled, I was enthralled
The snake that slithered learned to crawl
Through the quagmire of my mislaid plans
That backfired, I felt enlightened
My senses heightened
You called me up to wish me luck
To let me know this business sucks
Let's change it or let's rearrange it
So why'd I get the feeling that there's something you're concealing?
It's a brûlon, you've scratched your boots on
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
You only kick me when I'm down
When I get up, you come around
You come around, you say I'm great
You're only twenty years too late
Late, fa-, hey
Did I do something to make you hate me?
It's funny how you thought you'd break me
Did I do something to make you hate me?
It's funny how you thought you'd break me
You're too late (Too much)
Yes, you're too late (Too soon)
Yes, you're too late (How come?)
Twenty years too late (From you)
Twenty years too late (Too little)
Twenty years too late (Too late)
Twenty years too late (Too bad)
Twenty years too late (That's great)
Twenty years too late (That's great)
You're only twenty years too late (That's great)
You're only twenty years too late (That's great)
You're only twenty years too late (That's great)
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
Twenty years too late
You're only twenty years too late
