Moving backwards

one comment

Perhaps Julia Gillard this in mind when saying she was moving forwards?

Here are the lyrics to Ben Rector’s song Moving Backwards:

I saw you there
And looked you straight between the eyes
And said I'm leaving
And I don't care
And I don't know if they were lies
But I don't need them

Cause standing still
Isn't easy
When the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards
So get your fill
But please believe me
That the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards

And I say
So what if they're just stories
What if I need them?
So I pray
That you'll give me grace if you can hear me
That you'll give me grace if you can hear

Cause standing still
Isn't easy
When the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards
So get your fill
But please believe me
That the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards

So I pray that you'll give me grace if you can hear me
That you'll give me grace if you can hear me
And I pray that you'll give us grace if you can hear me
You'll give us grace
You'll give us grace
You'll give us grace

Cause standing still
Isn't easy
When the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards
So get your fill
But please believe me
That the world's moving backwards
The world's moving backwards

  1. Or Johnny “Guitar” Watson’s classic, “Looking Back”

    “As I was walking down the street
    A pretty girl did I chance to meet
    I followed her for half a mile
    I had to stop and talk a while
    Because I was looking back
    to see if she was looking back
    to see if I was
    looking back at her…”
