- SUZANNE VEGA - Last Year’s Troubles Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Last year's troubles are so old fashioned
- the robber on the highway the pirate on the seas
- maybe it's the clothing that's so entertaining
- the earrings and swashbuckling blouses that please
- here we have heroes of times that have passed now
- but nobody these days has that kind of chin
- over there the petticoats of ladies of virtue
- you can hardly tell them from the petticoats of sin
- last year's troubles
- look at all the waifs of Dickensian England
- why is it their suffering is more picturesque?
- must be cause their rags are so very Victorian
- the ones here at home just don't give it their best
- last years troubles they shine up so pretty
- they gleam with a luster they don't have today
- here it's just dirty and violent and troubling
- last year's troubles
- but trouble is still trouble and evil still evil
- sometimes we wonder; is there more now, or less?
- if we had a tool or could tally the handfuls
- measure for measure it's the same would be my guess
