Past Life Regressed Lyrics - Singles - Deirdre Flint

I went down to meet my girlfriends for lunch the ones 

who like to 

moan and complain about their lives just like me, 

But when I got there, they were smiling, they were happy, I thought 

What's up with that?? What the hells up with that? 

They said we've just come from our 

past life therapist who took us 

back to our lives gone by and man they were fine 

And now we feel okay with our present cause 

We had one hell of a past 

And they said: 

Considering the state of your sad pathetic life, 

why you must have been 

Some sort of cultural icon in an era gone by! 

Great. Thanks. 

Well, I got myself a session, 

I lay down on the couch and she said, 

Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! 

And my mind it started reeling like some psychedelic drug thing 

And I found myself in a field (smelling very badly) 

I heard a grunt and everything went black 

Well when I came to she said, "You're not going to like this 

But your past life was spent as an indigent serf 

And while foraging a meal of roots and potatoes, 

You were attacked by a wild boar." 

I said, "Well that sounds a lot like my last blind date, are you sure you didn't get the signals crossed?" She said, "I don't think 

So." I said, "Well, when I met this tragic, bloody death, was I 

and indigent serf in a satisfying committed relationship?" 

She said, "No." 

As if my life weren't bad enough, good lord I'm more depressed 

Cause I was just some low life peasant, 

when I past life regressed. 

She said, "We're going to try this again, usually the best possible 

Past life comes to the forefront first but maybe there's something wrong with the default mechanism, lets give it another shot. 

Well, she took me back further and it got more scary 

I was an ice age chick who ate a deadly berry 

And I stumbled out of my cave to die alone in the snow. 

I said, "Well when I was this ice age chick, 

did I have a man to call mine?" 

She said, "Honey, when you died you were ten at the time." 

I said, "Well, they started pretty young back then. . .." 

She said, "No." 

As if my life weren't bad enough well now I'm more depressed 

Cause I was just some low life peasant 

When I past life regressed 

I had a friend turns out, she was Cleopatra! 

I had another friend . . .um . . . she was Cleopatra as well. 

I had a third friend. . . well, suffice to say 

PMS around that palace must have been a living hell 

But I wasn't there. I wasn't anywhere even near that 

Socioeconomic strata. 

Well, we kept revisiting my soul as it cycled on down 

the food chain, and at every point along the spiral 

I struck out miserably. 

Until finally, we reached my life as a plant. 

And i said, "Cross pollination! I'm getting LUCKY tonight!" 

She said, "You were mugwort. And mugwort reproduces 

asexually. 

(Talk about setting an early precedent for yourself.) 

As if my life weren't bad enough, well now I'm more depressed 

Cause I was just some low life peasant 

A foul smelling ignorant serf 

An ice age chick probably dug up by some school kids. 

Even as a DAMN PLANT I couldn't get any action 

When I past life regressed.
