Total Recall

Was reading my friend Tina's blog earlier. Her latest post talked about songs from the 80s that she missed, and it reminded me of this song that I absolutely loved back then. I still love it now. It's from a UK band called The Sound, and it's called Total Recall. The singer/songwriter, Adrian Borland, is dead now. He committed suicide sometime ago. Anyway, the song's lyrics really appeal to my inner drama queen (or pagka-senti, as we Pinoy children of the 80s would say).

it's all such a blur when time goes so quickly
trying to hang on to the way that you'd like things to stay
you trace back the seconds, recall the details
from someone will, to someone does
to someone did, you know i did

oh, there must be a hole in your memory
but i can see
i can see a distant victory
a time when you will be with me

you cut me off just as i was starting to speak
the language you keep hidden away
it's just like the question on everyone's lips
but it's not on mine,
where all you'll find is a twisted smile
from another time
another time
another time

oh, must be a hole in your memory
but i can see
i can see a distant victory
a time when you will be with me

another time
another time

oh, there must be a hole in your memory
but i can see
i can see a distant victory
a time when you will be with me

there'll be another time
another time

oh, there must be a hole in your memory
but i can see
i can see a distant victory
a time when you will be with me

i can see that there's got to be another time
there's got to be...
