It Must Have Been Years Lyrics
A radio plays `White Christmas',
It's been doing that for years.
If someone leaves the station, oh please don't talk to strangers, can't you see they're not like us?
The vacant flesh of U.D.'s,
Stand leaning by the walls.
You can feel them thinking over ways of merging with the thoughts you never dare to dream.
It must have been years.
It must have been years.
They want to relive all my memories,
Give me `The Service' daily.
Maybe it was mother, I can't seem to remember much at all these days.
Picture open doorways,
No pick-ups by the taxi boys.
Just a bed near the window and an old lamp by my pillow and the things I have to do.
It must have been years.
It must have been years.
The driver wants to touch me.
He mentions all the old cop bullshit.
I try to back away, but he's so strong I just can't move, maybe I don't want to anyway.
The time to leave is always `soon'.
I wonder if I'm lying?
A vague feeling of panic as a man leaves saying "Thank You" - I blame it all on you.
It must have been years.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I love the solo.. it sounds like these people have been isolated so long they forgot what things were like before. they've become different people, and they don't want to talk to others outside of their community because they fear them [they're different]. It sounds like here he's trying to imagine it "Picture open doorways, no pick-ups by the taxi boys" now things are more complicated and there is "pick-ups" I don't know the replicas story but that's my best guess. good song.
@DJgif Nice. Like the others, it from his early Scifi stories. Saw him talk about it just this year on "Jonsie's Jukebox" on youtube.
