NILS LOFGREN - Ancient History (with lyrics) 1981 video free download
Album: Night fades away (1981)
Thanksfully to sprake01, here is the lyrics! Here I thank you your huge help, it was my secret dream, just didn't dare to ask when you posted kindly the lyrics of "Lonely Heart"! It's my fave song since 1981!!!!! :-)
Lyrics:
I was a future till she spied.
She overwhelmed; no-one could see.
I really shook and never cried.
Till her sights took dead aim at me.
The graveyard thought surrounds me,
Her evil spirit hounds me,
I may not shun her hungry gun.
Yes she did find a place for me
And filed as 'Ancient History'.
Felt my car swerve off the bridge.
She watched it blazing in my face.
If you ask her what's left of me.
I know she'll swear there's not a trace.
She'll tell you she's not cruel
But mister you're a fool
And you will face that hungry gun.
And when she finally sets you free
You'll be filed 'Ancient History'.
And you'll be filed right next to me,
Next to me.
Ancient History!
SOLO!
Now you would think the law could tell,
A vicious killer miles away.
She holds cards deep in hell
And all the clues have all been burned away.
The graveyard thought surrounds me.
Her evil demon hounds me.
I may not own her hungry gun.
Yes,she did find a place for me,
I'm filed as 'Ancient History'.
Oh yeah she finally set me free,
Set me free.
Ancient History!
