    LYRICS
    I was born in '67
    The year of Sgt. Pepper
    And Are You Experienced?
    Into a suburb of heaven
    Yeah, it should've been forever
    It all seems to make so much sense
    But after a while
    You realize time flies
    And the best thing that you can do
    Is take whatever comes to you
    'Cause time flies
    She said luck is all you make it
    You just reach out and take it
    Now let's dance a while
    She said nothing ever happens
    If you don't make it happen
    And if you can't laugh then smile
    But after a while
    You realize time flies
    And the best thing that you can do
    Is take whatever comes to you
    'Cause time flies
    And laughing under summer showers
    Is still the way I see you now
    How does time break down
    With no marker, things slow down.
    A conference of the strange
    And your family is deranged
    I could tell you what I'm thinking
    While we sit here drinking
    But I'm not sure where to start
    You see there's something wrong here
    I'm sorry if I'm not clear,
    Can you stop smoking your cigar?
    But after a while
    You realize time flies
    And the best thing that you can do
    Is take whatever comes to you
    'Cause time flies
    And the coat your wore to Alton Towers
    It's still the way I see you now

    MY GOD! How did I miss this? I've listened to tens of thousands of songs...several hundred artists.....So sad how the great gems are buried under the dung-heap of pop-culture. So difficult to sift through the rubble of music culture to find something truly special. I'm feeling ashamed, puzzled, saddened, and maybe just a little bit encouraged.....Finding Porcupine Tree brightens may day, and maybe my tomorrow.

    I am 33 years old today. When I was 23 I used to live in a different city where I lived 20 years of my life. I used to have a small old sedan, used to drive a lot, smoked, drunk at times with friends driving in the neighborhood and this song which I always played in loop purposely knowing the complete meaning of this song at that particular time which I wanted to freeze this song in that time.
    10 years later I have switched 4 cities, having family and kids, i went back to the neighborhood in someone's car (sold my old piece 5 years back) and i played this song, you won't imagine the feeling of seeing that same old neighborhood, i could literally see myself standing and talking to my brothers and up in a smoke in another moment just like the video shows. My eyes were numb seeing that.
    Indeed time flies which you will never get it back so just embrace where you are now and go one step forward with that. If you look behind you will only see this beautiful song and those moments you ever spent.

    I remember listening to this song when I was 17, when it first came out. Bought the record and everything. Me and my buddies listened to this song all the time as we tried to make our own little prog rock band, playing in my drummer's run down shack in the country side of Southern Italy. We never did much musically, but we had fun, met girls, fell in and out of love, got in fights. It was cool. I'm 27 now, moved far away from home in the cold north, moved in with my GF/childhood sweetheart, and got a purple belt in BJJ. When I listen to this song I remember who I used to be, and DAMN.. I barely recognize myself in the mirror. I'm gonna try to start a band again. Let's see how that goes :)

If the best show I ever attended was a 10, and the best I could imagine a 20, that performance was a 50, from opening chord to last lick.

    This was the song, many years ago, that first made Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree "click" in my head and my heart. I suddenly really HEARD his voice, I really FELT the meaning, I understood all of the pain. I have been continuously listening to Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, and all the other bands on that web of associated artists, for almost a decade now....... has it really been that long?

    It's rare you find such genius in a song. Everything is composed just SPOT ON! drums have a perfect amount of "rollyness" to them, guitars strike the best chords, vocals compliment the song in so many ways, and the bass and synth just both tie everything together. Good job mates.

      Hi fellow PT lover. After reading your post I realize my problems are small in comparison. Do not lose hope, it is not over until it's over. I can tell you have a very sensitive Spirit, as I do. The things with the classmates will pass with time, that's just how people can be at that age. I need you to understand something there is a God and he loves you very much and does not want to see you hopeless as this life is only momentary in the context of Eternity. You are braver than you think, please hang in there, things will improve. I don't care much for religion but a relationship with God is another matter altogether. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he loves you and wants you to be with him forever. His gift is free but it is not cheap. He wrote you a love letter in blood on a wooden crossm two thousand years ago. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever would believe on him would not perish but have everlasting life". John 3:16. Pick up a Bible and read it will bring Comfort to you, I know this from my own experience and the lives of hundreds of others that I have seen transformed miraculously. Again I am not talking about religion, I am talking about a relationship with the true and living God who gave his own life so that we may live. Peace to you if you ever need to talk please feel free to message me.
      Sincerely,
      A Friend

    I wish someone had collared me at 12 years old--grabbed me by the neck and hissed, "PAY ATTENTION TO THIS." Knowing how I was, he or she would need to repeat this procedure often during my adolescence, and plenty during my twenties, then again in my thirties. There is nothing in our lives--often not even death--that can prepare us for the serious business and absolute necessity of paying attention to our own lives, of squeezing every minute out of it, and gracing it with as much of our presence as possible. If you won't believe your mother, believe me--I'm nearing 60--it's not the long lost years that torment. It's wondering where the hell you were while they flew by.

    Hearing 11 minutes of Porcupine Tree condensed into 5 minutes is incredibly jarring.

      Yeah, Can't say I'm crazy about the edits. Kinda kills the whole feel.

      deFyne I'm living under a rock? You're the one who expects everyone to speak English. Get a fucking grip you whiny bitch.

      +deFyne I know speaking English but i wanted to comment on Turkish. Because i just could tell my emotions about the song in my native language. And you are ignorant. World's Language is not english, it's emotions! Matt Silva Thank you for supporting dude.
