The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Even if the good old days were good
Even if the old days were golden days
Even if the good old days were good
The past is a terrible place
The past is a terrible place to live
Misguided missiles
Skin creams and cars
Loaded with dreams
Loaded with dreams
Computer games
Pretty faces
Loaded with life
Loaded with live ammunition
Even if the good old days were good
The past is a terrible place
The past is a terrible place to live
Saving up for Linda
Saving up for Pam
Saving up for Naomi
Icon therefore I am
Saving up for Mary
Saving up for Jane
A thousand pieces all over the room
Let's do it all again
Icon therefore I am
Loaded with dreams
Loaded with life
I'm loaded with live ammunition
Loaded with dreams
Loaded with stories
Loaded with life
I only wish I knew you
How hard it is for me to spare
This kind of thing for you
If you sense a smokescreen here
A trick of dry ice
A trick of the dry eyes
