LAST TIME



performed on:

This sexy PET SOUNDS-like, intricately produced composition was almost unanimously the most promising of the three CARTOONS tracks presented several months early on the single for "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville," but in fact most fans already knew it, as it dated from the 1994 sessions and used to be a more direct band performance. Roughly half of the song was new to CARTOONS, however, as Nick integrated what was left of his first song for the album (tentatively called "Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit").


I've been seeing you so long
and you still don't know me
I lied and lied and lied
but I love to know what you know

will this be the last time?
another slammed door
another throwaway speech
I stood on the stage
pretending I can't feel your eyes on me
pretending I don't care

why can't you forgive me?
why did I tell her?
why didn't I tell you?
why can't I tell you?
I'll never tell you

it was years ago
now there's somebody else
I wonder what would've happened
I wonder what you felt like
I wonder what you're thinking
I wish I could know

I don't remember the last time
I think I passed you in the hall
didn't say a word, I couldn't
If I had known I may have
If I had known it was the last time
