These Spectacles Reveal The Nostalgics Lyrics - Lex Hives - Hives

Where were you when the world stopped moving? 

To one side waiting wearly through it alone? 

Only life you ever knew looking back at what you used to do 

Pass a dump along the road, rearview mirror turn it into gold 

You all grew up on the radio and all the moments that I missed 

When you had fun fun fun but nowhere to go, 

they are nothing compared to this 

Cause when you don't wake up for nothing, 

then nothing's all you get 

And then it's all over you gonna know it was the best that you had yet 

Wrapped up in a blanket so soothing 

You've stopped but the meters still moving along 

But all ain't quiet on the eastern front 

March in time with your commandant 

Listen up to the latest blast 

And let it wipe out your past 

Got your mind spinning loop de loop 

And it feels like a monkey jumping through a hoop 

Here's your moment, wait a moment and the moment is gone 

And then you forgot what it was that you want 

You all grew up on the radio and all the moments that I missed 

When you had fun fun fun but nowhere to go, they are nothing compared to this 

You all grew up on the radio and all the moments that I missed 

When you had fun fun fun but nowhere to go, they are nothing compared to this 

Cause when you don't wake up for nothing, then nothing's all you get 

And then it's all over you gonna know it was the best that you had yet 

cause we're still here
