You tell yourself it’s never too late.
That there’ll always be a chance.
That thin layer of romance.
As you dig deeper down into that grave.
Tired of being brave for the new wave,
And it’s tough I know,
Endlessly hearing I told you so, it's relentless,
So you take it back to the start,
When your heart beat faster
and your eyes glowed wide,
No worries, no fear, just pride
Remembering those nights that didn’t stop for days
Swearing to stick together for always,
Breakfast without sleep, then going again,
Every conversation life affirming,
Every glance a love,
You smile and stare at each other through the morning mist,
Still a bit pissed, memories missed,
that hit of cold air, the tv glare,
The pace of it all, the disrepair.
No consequence, no care.

Oh, the good old days.
Oh, the good old days.

Before the lows, come the highs
And we rub cheap cans away from our starry eyes,
Modern life hits hard,
like a brick from a prick, continually caught off guard.
And you’re surely not here to just pay bills and then die.
As you inevitably succumb to the grind. But you try.
Yet glimmers of joy shine through,
Like a special effect in a Hollywood movie ,
You explode, rise up, it’s obscene. Filling the widescreen.You are immaculate, unbeatable, infinite.
You try to calm down, as vast elements of your life fade into insignificance
Those private words in your ear, off record dressing downs
From middle management clowns,
Thanks but no thanks, I’ll take my chance.
And I want to settle down, build back some self esteem.
But It’s easy to shout, and It’s easy to scream
To tell the world to just fuck off and die
But no one is asking why
No one is asking why

Oh, the good old days
Oh, the good old days
