Forever Otherwise - Bonfire of My Days
Always thought I was a young manTil the mirror put me straight
Brow is ploughed
My hair's not there
And I've multiplied my weight
Always thought I'd last forever
Never ailing, never ill
No aches and pains
No strains and sprains
No cupboard full of pills
Don't know where my youth went
Just seemed to sneak away
My back was turned
When I got burned
By the bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Hoo hee ha
Always thought I'd be the playboy
Mr Party, paint the town
Now weekends hushed
Cos I'm too bushed
TV and dressing gown
Always thought I'd be the cool one
Keeping up with all the tunes
But I'm as hip
As a saline drip
And red brushed denim loons
Don't know where my youth went
Just seemed to sneak away
My back was turned
When I got burned
By the bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Hoo hee ha
Always thought I'd keep on trucking
Take the whole world in my stride
I don't like crowds or music loud
Surf channels not the tide
Always thought I'd stay in fashion
Stay sharp stay looking good
I wear suede boots
And pinstriped suits
And tops without a hood
Don't know where my youth went
Just seemed to sneak away
My back was turned
When I got burned
By the bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Bonfire of my days
Hoo hee ha
Hate the chronological
Cos atrophy is logical
Seems I'm not immortal
Nearing heaven's portal
Hate the chronological
Cos atrophy is logical
Seems I'm not immortal
Nearing heaven's portal
