I got a scent on you. I got something here to show

(It's) somebody's slice of life


I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around
the world


And for all these things you tell me, well


I can't quite believe

You are still there and trying to be somebody



Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us


We don't have anything to say, nothing to give


Well, it blows away

I have another chance, I may have two lives


But both my lives will be brief lives


And then, you all will wonder why



I was nearly 16 years old

You were only 17, life isn't so complicated


But then life isn't 'sposed to be


For all these years

For all these years



Could somebody tell them


To hurry on, hurry on down


Wouls somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down



Every censor, everybody loses their way

I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share

with you



Every lover

Well they all tell lies


Yes, I have his wife in the background


But I have more than this, I have more than this

And if Mr Chaste, he has a past


Give it to me



I was nearly 16 years old


You were only 17, life isn't so complicated

But then life isn't 'sposed to be


For all these years


For all these years
