Soul Asylum - Lately - Текст песни

In the fog lights 

there was tear gas floating through the twilight

And he wondered what life would be like 

with a giant screen TV, a fridge full of beer and a conscience that's clean


See lately 

she'd been thinking about her little tiny baby

and the boy who had gone to defend me

she's a good friend of mine

but I can't take the place of her man anytime.


And it won't be long til he's coming home


You gotta bring your soldier home 

when all those stones have all been thrown

gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid

and hope he can live with whatever he did.


Now meanwhile 

he was reading magazines on the frontline

he was trying not to think about her life

and what he might have done cause it seemed like neither one of them

were having any fun


See lately 

she'd been acting kinda crazy lately

Oh man I thought she was gonna hate me

Cause I couldn't watch her little one

I had so much to do I was so high strung


And it won't be long til daddy's home


You gotta bring your soldier home 

when all those stones have all been thrown

gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid

and hope he can live with whatever he did


And lately, all the hate escapes me

and lately all the hate just escapes me lately


So he phoned her

said darling I've been feeling so alone here

am I making myself perfectly clear

and I'm on my way back just a couple more missions and I start getting packed


You gotta bring your soldier home 

when all those stones have all been thrown

gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid

and hope he can live with whatever he did


Lately I was wondering if she heard from him lately

oh lately I was wondering if she heard from him lately
