Lyrics

Peter Paulo Van Der Heyden, I feel I owe you an apology
For I never call you over to share a drink with this old friend
But the one time I did oh, the evening became a depressing sham
You'll remember that
Hidden in the quiet corner of that rotten Dundee bar
Tales of our youth gone stale, filthy glasses and fingernails
And is that your family calling, you know I couldn't live like that
I couldn't live like that
For we did mistakes the that haunt me to this day
I can see that you've been lucky well none of that luck came my way
I need to sleep for a thousand years
Wake up straight and narrow
Wrapped in swaddling clothing
Oh tell me where did those years go
How I wished that time away
That foolish heart of mine
That foolish heart of mine
That foolish heart of mine
That foolish heart of mine
Delusions can make one happy
And drink it can bring delusions
And who are you to preach James
You know those people, they aren't your friends
Do you remember when London Calling came on the TV
And we began to weep
Do you remember when London Calling came on the TV
And we began to weep
