NoMeansNo - Remember Lyrics
I recall at the end of it allYou were on your knees and I was standing tallBut is my memory deceiving me?Was I hanging there while you prayed for me?Remember how when the show was done,We were dancing and singing and having some fun,Then I heard you speak, your voice was bleak---"What we forget we must repeat."R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-RI remember the tricks of the trade,Who got left behind and who made the grade,And I don't need the pages of some master planTo tell me what to do or tell me who I amBut when all is said and all is done,Under the yellow glow of a setting sun,It really doesn't matter what you have done,You are blind and deaf and dumbR-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-RI remember an endless spaceAnd the tolling bells of some holy placeIs it a dream that comes back to meOr a memory that I can barely see?Not the voices that haunt my mindOf the friends and lovers I have left behind.What I see, what comes back to me,Is a place I cannot find.R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
