Time Has Gone


This is a track made specifically for the album. I needed something upbeat to follow on from 'Don't Fall In Love With Me', and I resurrected a riff that I had made up a long time ago. Seeing a photograph of myself with friends that I no longer have any contact with on a holiday in Ibiza aged eighteen provided the inspiration for the words.
Seeing the picture also made me think about a video tape I recorded of me and a bunch of students at university when I was nineteen.
I found that I was sad that those days are gone. But then upon thinking about it a little more, I realised that I'm probably happier now than I was back then, although I still feel a little sad that I'll never be that young again.

Lyrics

See the boy on the TV screen
He looks like me but his hands are clean
He's stood in the place where I would be
Ten years ago.

With skin a bit darkened by the sun
He can't see what he's become
But I can see what I have done
Ten years ago.

Time has gone
Mind has gone
I know things are so much better right now.
I would like to go back then.

Look back in time, it's unhealthy
Magnetic strips of memory
Stood in the place where I would be
Ten years ago.

Time has gone
Mind has gone
I know things are so much better right now.
