I have loved this album since 1987 (Yes I know it came out earlier than 1987 but I didn't like it at first)
This song in particular. As another person mentioned, the middle of this song is hauntingly wonderful.
Thinking about how English isnt their first language, its a touch of genius how he sings "Welllll, they gave me 4 years" as opposed to "They gave me 4 years"
Also I always thought it was "Time pardons so slow" but I'm not insisting. It certainly sounds like there is a D in there. It's not a language thing or speech thing as he pronounces S properly through the rest of the songs.

Hence why I thought he said "pardons*
Regardless, it's a wonderfully sad song.
