Steve Harley - The Best Years Of Our Lives Lyrics
European maids, hard to ignoreYou, me and the boys, barred from the shoreFresh-faced imbeciles, laughing at meIve been laughing myself, is that so hard to see?Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly!If theres no room for laughter theres no room for meTry looking at you, rather than meNo truth is in here, its all fantasySince the last time we met Ive been throughAbout seven hundred changes and thats just a fewAnd the changes all tend to be something to doBut youve got to believe thaytheyre all done for youChorus: youll think its tragic when that moment arrivesAh, but its magic, its the best years of our livesLost now for the words to tell you the truthPlease banter with me the banter of youthIf I knew how to say it Id say it for youIf I knew how to whisper Id whisper,for youIf I knew how to waltz Id get up and dance for youIf t thought I could run Id come running to youIve discovered now how to be fairThis 1 could teach you if only I dareThe only conclusion 1ve reached in my lifeIs that if I should die I should die-by the knifeSince its only a matter of courage all right,Die a man or a martyr, the two would be nice, so niceChorus: youll think its tragic when that moment arrivesAh, but its magic, its the best years of our lives
