Текст песни Stereolab - Slow Fast Hazel

discovery of fire, america,
the invention of the wheel, steel work and democracy
philosophy, the soviets and other events in history of humanity
happened at a certain given moment in time

won't go back to the days couldn't even start a fire
won't go back to the days america'd not been discovered
the transition has been operated for ever
what had gone on before from what there'd been after
