Trigger Happy Memories

Many years ago, before the internet was something that could be had anywhere anytime, there was a boy and a burned CD. On that CD was a 400MB file titled "The Best of Trigger Happy TV." At lonely lunchtimes, in vacated halls, and in distant lands, the boy, with nothing else to do, would eat his meals and watch that video file over, and over, and over, again.

I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
The love that always gets me on my knees

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

I want it now
I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in

So, I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you

-- Echo & the Bunnymen, Nothing Lasts Forever (1997)
