Wild Beasts - Past Perfect lyrics

Back then, there were no others All I knew, true beginners We had a gift: the perfect present No such a thing I'm taught It's tense for me Can't live within a memory Proud woman, I dare not come pa**ively Every fella deserves his dignity Our hurt is older than our hands It pa**ed from monkey into man Mow tender hands do heal the hurt Man did f** up, and then he learnt It's tense for me Can't live within a memory Proud woman, I dare not come pa**ively Every fella deserves his dignity It's tense for me Can't keep reliving what is history Proud woman now don't go soft on me Where's that famous old dexterity? It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense for me It's tense, it's tense for me It's tense for me Can't live within a memory Proud woman, I dare not come pa**ively Every fella deserves his dignity
