  • That was a good year
    The one when we still believed
    Despite all evidence pointing to the contrary
    I had nothing
    I had nothing to base this love upon
    Nothing but a feeling
    Way down at the base of my spine
    That's got nothing at all to do with my mind
    No

    Just a feeling
    Just a feeling
    Now I stalk the labyrinth
    Of my own myth
    Searching for clues
    With this fading glo-stick
    But I've found nothing
    No, I found nothing to base my life upon
    Nothing but this feeling
    Way down at the base of my spine
    That's got nothing at all to do with my mind
    No

    There was no coat-check
    So we wore our dreams out on the dance floor
    We danced so hard
    Got so hot
    That they fused to us all
    We thought that we were just joking, trying dreams on for size
    We never realized we'd be stuck with them for the rest of our natural lives

    (Summoned from the dark under the most extraordinary circumstances)
    That's when I saw you, babe
    In the car park of the farmer's market
    Backlit by the sunset
    Or maybe the fires marking the end of the world
    I stammered some pleasantries
    As I walked back to the car
    And then I thought, "Hold on
    Are these groceries really that important?
    More important than getting your number
    And finding out who you actually are?"
    And you made it easy on me, babe
    You smiled
    And I could see that life had got to you too
    It was nothing serious
    Just a flesh wound
    Still working on the dream
    And I said, "Hey babe, ain't it time we started living?"
    Ain't it time we started living?
    Ain't it time we started living?
    Ain't it time we started living?
    In a car park?
    But then the future broke through
    And I knew
    That I was right

    Ain't it time we started feeling?
    Ain't it time we started feeling?
    Ain't it time we started feeling? Writer/s: Andrew Mckinney, Candida Doyle, Emma Smith, Jarvis Cocker, Jason Buckle, Mark Webber, Nick Banks
