Dated Song Lyrics:
"The Big Heat"
The Dated Lyrics: Along the way he wondered if he'd left behind a clue,
A front page of the paper dated 1992. Why They're Dated: When Ridgway recorded this song in 1986, the date of the paper was supposed to indicate that the fellow was a little off-kilter, like a time traveller or some such thing. Now, he is merely someone who yearns for the past.
