Wicked Playlist – Music Blog

Well, The Shield series finale was tonight and they ended it in great fashion. I won’t get into the issues I have with it, but I’ll just comment on the song they closed the series with.  The song was by Concrete Blonde and the title is “Long Time Ago”.  Here are the lyrics to “Long Time Ago”.

When you turned out the light
and walked out the door
I said to myself
what did I come here for?
Did you have a good time
drinking whiskey and ryhme
and did you want to be
Bonnie and Clyde?
What goes on in your mind,
what goes on in your head?
Who did you think I would be
ha, well you got me instead.
You think there’s some connection
that I’m your female reflection
but no…
I can be loyal
and (a) I can be true
but that’s for somebody else
and it will never be you.
You think we’re predetermined
but babe you’re learning
way to slow…
But it seems such a long time ago.
[er, something that sounds like go, fishman right before the solo]
(oh…) He can see things
you’ll never know how to see.
He’s three times the man
you’ll never know how to be.
I’ll do anything he wants
and I’ll go anywhere
he wants me to go.
And if that isn’t love
then I guess I’ll just never know.
But it seems a long time ago…
