Favourite Songs

My best years are behind me

But I'll be damned if I'm giving up

Your intervention was timely

I was acceptable at a push

Am I able

To sit at the big boys' table

Or shall I stare at my navel?

I'll never be seen as stable

Bathed in the light from the gymnasium

If your advice was a pill then I'd be taking some

Tell me your favorite songs

And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along

And all of our troubles will fade away

My worst years are behind me

I drink from a replenished cup

There's still a lack of certainty

History is constructed and there's the rub

Am I able

To sit at the big boys' table

Or shall I stare at my navel?

The grave is nearer than the cradle

Bathed in the light from the gymnasium

If your advice was a pill then I'd be taking some

Tell me your favorite songs

And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along

And all of our troubles will fade away

Tell me your favorite songs

And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along

And all of our troubles will fade away

It'll be churlish of me to complain

You must be used to it by now

I could've handled it more like a pro

But there you go

You should be used to it by now

When the ocean comes a-callin'

You'll be there like a shot

A walk across the suburbs

The land that time, the land that time

The land that time forgot

Tell me your favorite songs

And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along

And all of our troubles will fade away

Just for a day

They'll fade away

If only for a day
