Lyrics Simple Minds

Simple Minds

Thirty Frames a Second

Today I saw a film was going backwards

Thirty frames a second was a man I recognized

Say who you are? I lost my job security

Self confidence, bank account, identity

The league of youth coming backward at me

Thirty frames a second

Say who you are? Go back to father

Father where's my food? Your food is on the table

That can't be food, it's dirt say who you are

Look at my skin, look at my face

Look at my arms getting younger

Going backwards thirty frames a second

Say who you are?

I crash my car, collapse in town

Young immigrants and legionaries

Fighting back, back, backwards

Thirty frames a second

Say who you are?

Some friends of mine

I thought were dead, a coming back

What are you doing coming back, Jack

Say who you are?

Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second

Feel I'm going backwards

Feel I'm going backwards

Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second

Feel I'm going backwards

Feel I'm going backwards

Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
