Moments and Whatnot - Lloyd Cole

Mostly I

Mostly I prefer to live in the future

In the future

I’m here and now

But I’m not really here in the moment

In the moment

In my defense

You saw me coming

You walked into the room and I

I shouldn’t wonder

In another time

In a godforsaken far-flung place

You and I and we had a moment

We had a moment

But we couldn’t stay

And before you could say, «The next day»

You had been consigned to the future

To the future

In my defense

You saw me coming

You walked into the room and I

I shouldn’t wonder

I shouldn’t wonder

But I do

I shouldn’t care

But I care about you

I shouldn’t hope

For one shiny day

I know, I

I shouldn’t wonder

In my defense

You saw me coming

You walked into the room and I

I shouldn’t wonder

I shouldn’t wonder

But I do

I shouldn’t care

But I care about you

I shouldn’t hope

For one shiny day

I know, I

I shouldn’t wonder
