What is the past to you, I'm asked
Why, the past is a corpse, my friend
It cannot live, it cannot breathe
And you cannot be there again

Unearth it, dissect it
Prop it up in a chair
Learn from it what you can
For you cannot live there

Technically, this is another good lyric
that could be set to music.... 

re the philosophy...this is true...
the past is most useful to learn from...
much to rue...and much to smile about, no?
and you are persuasive...
But, what to do with the memories?
Esp. the good ones?
