All our mates that we once knew said they were happy,
|
Always shouting in the street, just like you and me,
|
Always finding laughter, fun and games to play,
|
They of course have to agree,
|
Suddenly they were swept off their feet and gone,
|
They don't know what hit them,
|
Just like the rest, the girlfriends got the best,
|
And so the story just goes on...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They all get washed for them, even have a bath,
|
But they are now being led, up the garden path...
|
|
I was sitting in the sun reading the days press,
|
A boy that I once knew was in, I've never seen such a mess
|
Smiling with a moustache, a suit, a shirt and tie,
|
He had just been wed today,
|
I could not help but laugh, what's got into him?
|
He looks about fourty,
|
He's been such a nit, now he's in for it,
|
And soon you'll hear him say...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I was lying on the beach licking cool ice cream,
|
A man, a wife and a pram went by, it was like a dream,
|
He was climbing apple trees just a moon ago,
|
The kind of bloke you think, won't grow,
|
His face is like a fiddle now, long and sad and blue,
|
He still says he's happy,
|
He must have gone mad, cos he's not the lad,
|
That I once used to know...
|
|
[Chorus]
