Hard Times

(앨범: Hidden Things - 1992)

I remember back before it all became clear
The end wasn't near
We were poor without fear
I remember times before it all became plain
We were young and insane
She liked to fuck in the rain
We thought that we were pretty
I guess that we were
We loved without pity
I did it for her
We loved it in the city
Loved it in the dirt that was building up in our minds
And clouding our eyes
In hard times
In hard times
In hard times

I remember back when it was still cool to dance
To a band in tight pants
Even if they were trash
Juliet was expert at the withering glance
That could turn you to ash but you'd still take that chance
I thought that I was funny
I probably was
When she asked me for money I said you're the boss
You know I'm sorry honey, I didn't count the cost
Of the silly things I did
The things that I hid

In hard times
In hard times
In hard times

We got high but always for fun
We'd try anything once maybe twice
And we'd never pay

Well I know somewhere, sometime, I'll meet her again
It won't be as lovers, but still more than friends
Maybe then I'll ask her if she remembers when
She could keep me smiling
Just with her violin

In hard times
In hard times
In hard times
In hard times
