about

Comeback was the final song written for "Weeks, Months, Years;" It has been a live staple for both the full-band and acoustic shows ever since. McMahon often improvises other song lyrics in the middle breakdown portion of the song, most often infusing verses of the Buzzcocks' "Why Can't I Touch It?"

lyrics

I want to wake up at your place
go downstairs to get the paper
and see my world’s not a basket case
Lordy knows I’ve tried and I’ve tried
to keep it simple and not live a lie
but I don’t yet know who I am
Don’t you know I sing awful things
I keep coming back to another bad ending
I don’t want that
I don’t want this comeback to fall short
All alone with a coffee-burnt toungue
I want to go home back to when I was young
and I hadn’t seen what I saw
Let me say: “Let us pray
that another dirty wave will come to take us away to the future
so we don’t get caught”
The thoughts are almost gone
the night itself is done
and all that’s left is song
the voices singing as one
I need to wake up and you’re around
no traffic jams no city sounds below us
to bring us down
Lordy knows there’s a better way
don’t you know we’ll get there some day soon
I hope to God
