Josh Aitken - Pipe Dream

I hear Slow Dancing in the background
The tapes worn out
And I think about
All the times that I've missed it
So play it on repeat now

I made it up the stairs today
But tripped and fell down memory lane
I get back in
My backs put out
A cup of tea and custard cream
Will sort me right out

Ripe old age of 20
They told I'd go far
But Elvis was a rock star
Before I knew what I wanted to be
Is it too late for me?
(Is it too late to see how my life would be?)
Is it too late for me
To find myself a different pipe dream?

Maybe If I'd met Brian at the Cavern Club
Or wasted less time at the country pub
I'd be kicking back on Palm Beach
Instead of getting the bus back from Uni
If I'd gotten out of bed more
And put my life back into the stock market
I'd be on the red carpet
I guess I've got a lot of things to answer for

Ripe old age of 20
They told I'd go far
But Elvis was a rock star
Before I knew what I wanted to be
Is it too late for me?
(Is it too late to see how my life would be?)
Is it too late for me
To find myself a different pipe dream?

Where did the time go?
Things move so slow
At the end of the line
Where am I supposed to go?

Ripe old age of 20
They told I'd go far
But Elvis was a rock star
Before I knew what I wanted to be
Is it too late for me?
(Is it too late to see how my life would be?)
Is it too late for me
To find myself a different pipe dream?
