He's not the only one

To think that things are going wrong

and all around is only second best.

Time was when all was fair

and we built solid castles in the air

He said that back to back in time's the way to go



Better in my day

I hear everybody say

but then they'll still be saying it tomorrow



It's so hard to take it

When your time is over

Yes it's hard to take it

When you try to remember



Better in my day, in my way, can't you see

Better in my way, here to-day, don't you see



I remember well he said,

When great men led the way instead

Of manicure and media-hugging style

But I don't know what to do

From now on we'll always lose

He said that back to back in time's the way to go



Better in my day

I hear everybody say

but then they'll still be saying it tomorrow



It's so hard to take it

When your time is over

Yes it's hard to take it

When you try to remember



Better in my day, in my way, can't you see

Better in my way, here to-day, don't you see



He's not the only one

To think that things are going wrong

And all around is only second best

But I don't know what to do

From now on we'll always lose

He said that back to back in time's the way to go



The only way to go

Try to remember

Oh better in my day, better in my way...
