1973 Songtext
von Beth Orton

You got a certain way I swear of sticking it in
Even though you only ever lose or you win
I always said I′d wait and wait and wait just to see
I've been waiting here since 1973

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

Looking back in time right now to 72
I remember all the stupid things we′d do
Sitting round and speeding like it's 79
There was always somewhere else I had to be in my mind

Swimming in my mind, swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind through a liquid sky
Looking below, well, it changed my dreams
And now nothing is quite what it seems


It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

You got a certain way, I swear, of sticking it there
Ridiculously obvious and never less aware
I always said I'd wait and wait and wait just to see
I′ve been waiting here since 1973

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

I didn′t do it I swear
I wasn't even there
Elsewhere
Elsewhere

I must have been elsewhere
I must have been elsewhere
