The Best Years of Our Lives

Oh, Michael

All the lines are down

It's Australia day again

Every time the wheel slows down

I think of all my friends

Whatever happened to the days way back

The Bondi Lifesaver was always raging

I'm standing here in Oxford Street

And the ghosts are howling

Geez, it's raining

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I wish I had been around when the Bondi Icebergs reigned

Sometimes I sit and think of it

And I dream of better days

Whatever happened to the days way back

In the nineteen thirties?

All those endless parties

I'm still too young to  understand

How it was back then

When the party ends

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

They say the circle turns around

There'll be better days

And I don't mind waiting

I wish time had stopped ten years ago

But I'm learning slowly

Life is always changing

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I got a letter from doctor

Ten thousand words to a page

He was talking about grief

And I dozed off about half way

Whatever happened to the days way back

When the world was safe and it seemed worth saving

We search for leaders on our hands and knees

But don't ask David 'cause he's still crazy

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't, I said, don't

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't waste time

These are the best years of our lives

I said, don't, I said, don't

I said, don't waste time

I said, don't, I said, don't
