From the 2009 Pump album 'Champion and the Dog Tree'.

lyrics

'Fast Years' - (Ian Macintosh)
THE MOONLIGHT PAINTS MY WINDOW PANE
AS WE WAIT PATIENTLY FOR RAIN
BUT THE RAIN IT NEVER COMES
AND WE WAKE ONCE AGAIN TO SUN

CHORUS
DID YOU THINK WE'D LIVE FOR EVER?
DON'T THE FAST YEARS MAKE YOU SHIVER - LIKE THE WIND, LIKE
THE WIND?



I TURNED MY FACE BACK TO THE WALL
BUT I CAN'T READ A THING AT ALL
I TURN MY GAZE BACK TO THE SEA
WHERE EVERY WAVE'S A SONG FOR ME.

CHORUS

I EMPTIED MY LAST GLASS OF WHITE
AND QUICKLY KISSED MY LOVE GOODNIGHT
THEN RAN ACROSS THE MOONLIGHT PATH
WHERE I LAST HEARD MY OLD LOVE LAUGH

CHORUS

DIRE EC-ON-OMIC RUMOURS
BLAME IT ON THE BABY BOOMERS
BUT I DON’T THINK I’M READY YET
TO STEP BACKWARDS OR FORGET
