• sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun:
  
  looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
  going to a place that’s far, so far away and if that’s not enough
  going where nobody says hello, they don’t talk to anybody they don’t know
  you’ll wind up in some factory that’s full time filth and nowhere left to go
  walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
  i know it might sound strange, but i believe
  you’ll be coming back before too long
  
  don’t go back to rockville
  and waste another year
  
  at night i drink myself to sleep and pretend
  i don’t care if you’re not here with me
  ‘cause it’s so much easier to handle
  all my problems if i’m too far out to sea
  but something better happen soon
  
  or it’s gonna be too late to bring you back
  
  it’s not as though i really need you
  if you were here i’d only bleed you
  but everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
  that’s not how it ought to be
  i know it might sound strange, but i believe
  you’ll be coming back before too long

• gecenin bi vakti bi prag radyosunda^* denk gelip mal bi çocuk gibi sevindiğim, beni saniyeler içinde 20 sene öncesine ışınlamış, o zamanlar en çok dinlediğim albümlerden birine^* ait r.e.m. parçası.
