Until Lately Songtext
von The Dream Syndicate

In my area there is a chain of being
And the most of the attentions is paid to lower things
Around here the rule is good faith
You choose your friends carefully and you′re safe

Well, it just goes to show how wrong you can be
It just goes to show how wrong you can be
It just goes to show how wrong you can be

Because
They say he was in a good position
A man of pride and ambition
Until lately
Until lately

Well, in this world there is one equation
The harder you work, the better is your station (hmm, it's true)
Well, tonight on the news I heard them say
The man in the plaza had a resume

Well, it just goes to show how wrong you can be
It just goes to show how wrong you can be
It just goes to show how wrong you can be


Because
They say he was in a good position
A man of pride and ambition
Until lately
Yeah, until lately

Yeah, until lately

Well, it just goes to show how wrong you can be
It just goes to show how wrong you can be
Yeah, it just goes to show how wrong you can be

Because
They say he was in a good position
A man of pride and ambition
Until lately
Yeah, until lately

Yeah, until lately


Yeah! Can you believe it?
Yeah, lets hear a little bit more about this
Uhh, tell me a little bit more what can you say?
(Uh, I can′t remember)
C'mon, c'mon, what are you gonna say about it?
(Uh, hold on a second)
C′mon, c′mon what can you say about a guy like that?
(Uh let me think)
What can you say about a guy like that?
(Um, let me think, something's coming, something)

Well
He was awake at six and on the bus at eight
Was at work at nine and at lunch at twelve
At home at five, the TV seven and
He was back in at bed at twelve
He was an ordinary guy
He was an ordinary guy
He was an ordinary guy
Like you and me
Until lately
