Do You Remember?
Claire's Birthday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know that he's leaving
And by god oh yeah you better believe him
When he tells you that he's leaving
It's for good
This is your last chance
And tonight you're gonna have your last dance
And you know what's goin' on
This stuff makes you cry

Chorus:
Do you remember
Thins once were different
Back to those times when it was all
By the way
For the good times now
Let's stick together
I'll stick around
Yeah i will rescue you

His letters you've got them
And god knows that you read them
Much too often
But he has forgotten once again
These times of sweetest bliss
From these moments that led on to your first kiss
To the moment that is now
It's all thrown away

Chorus

It's getting old you know
All this talk it wears you out
Forget the world
Forget your troubles
You're just human
And you'll do what you can just to hold on...

Do you remember
Do you remember it all by the way
For the good times now
Let's stick together




Let's stick together
And i will rescue you

mäletan kui oli aasta 2003, olin noor ja värske teismeline siis, ostsin selle muusika kasseti, seisab siiani riiulis aukohal, kuulan aegajalt seda. tõeline nostalgia ja kvaliteet muusika meie tühikargajate ja rolfide seas

@theresakra

I love this band! Fantastic :)

@mrmeathead2107

fantastic music!

@matildej7831

Well, I don't know if they're still together, but Vaiko Eplik (the singer) has a nice solo carreer, I'd be soooo happy to hear him in the Netherlands too!

@astronor63

These guys are great! Are they still around? Welcome to Norway!!!

@monesv

Indeed, indeed. Magusalt mõru on see asi, et neid kauneid asju ei saa enam kunagi tagasi - ainult meenutused-mälestused on neist jäänud.

@marepallase1725

@jjjou

kurat küll kuhu kõik head bändid nüüd kadunud on...?

@user-kf1sh7mb6s

See on üks elu suuremaid müsteeriume. ;) Meil on peetäis suurepäraseid lauljaid, aga mitte ühtegi legendaarset laulu viimasest kümnest aastast. V.a Curly Stringsi "Kauges külas". ;)
