He's not the only one
|
To think that things are going wrong
|
And all around is only second best.
|
Time was when all was fair
|
And we built solid castles in the air
|
He said that back to back in time's the way to go
|
|
Better in my day
|
I hear everybody say
|
But then they'll still be saying it tomorrow
|
|
It's so hard to take it
|
When your time is over
|
Yes it's hard to take it
|
When you try to remember
|
|
Better in my day, in my way, can't you see
|
Better in my way, here to-day, don't you see
|
|
I remember well he said,
|
When great men led the way instead
|
Of manicure and media-hugging style
|
But I don't know what to do
|
From now on we'll always lose
|
He said that back to back in time's the way to go

The only way to go

Try to remember

Oh better in my day, better in my way...
