about
Heading to work, on the train...and who should sit down opposite but someone I used to know (as Goyte would say.)
lyrics
I came upon a past life on my way into the city
Just as I remember but now old and lass pretty
And I asked myself the question
How time has gone for her And I heard
Ooooo!
Turn your life around my friend
Your wants and needs will never end
Remember what a wise man said
He said Life gets in the way
Don't get trapped by your worries son
Lighten up and have some fun
Bad things come but life goes on and
Life gets in the way
And when I turned to leave
The Guard grabbed my sleeve and he said
I'd like to believe in the hereafter
I've made all my plans and I've been a good man
Ooooo!
Sometimes it seems that nothing gets better
I'm always striving and getting beat
Everything's doing but
Nothing's improving
Targets are too hard to reach
Turn your life around my friend
Your wants and needs will never end
Remember what a wise man said
He said Life gets in the way
Don't get trapped by your worries son
Lighten up and have some fun
Bad things come but life goes on and
Life gets in the way
Just as I remember but now old and lass pretty
And I asked myself the question
How time has gone for her And I heard
Ooooo!
Turn your life around my friend
Your wants and needs will never end
Remember what a wise man said
He said Life gets in the way
Don't get trapped by your worries son
Lighten up and have some fun
Bad things come but life goes on and
Life gets in the way
And when I turned to leave
The Guard grabbed my sleeve and he said
I'd like to believe in the hereafter
I've made all my plans and I've been a good man
Ooooo!
Sometimes it seems that nothing gets better
I'm always striving and getting beat
Everything's doing but
Nothing's improving
Targets are too hard to reach
Turn your life around my friend
Your wants and needs will never end
Remember what a wise man said
He said Life gets in the way
Don't get trapped by your worries son
Lighten up and have some fun
Bad things come but life goes on and
Life gets in the way
