I got a scent on you. I got something here to show

(It's) somebody's slice of life

I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world

And for all these things you tell me, well

I can't quite believe

You are still there and trying to be somebody



Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us

We don't have anything to say, nothing to give

Well, it blows away

I have another chance, I may have two lives

But both my lives will be brief lives

And then, you all will wonder why



I was nearly 16 years old

You were only 17, life isn't so complicated

But then life isn't 'sposed to be

For all these years

For all these years



Could somebody tell them

To hurry on, hurry on down

Wouls somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down



Every censor, everybody loses their way

I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you



Every lover

Well they all tell lies

Yes, I have his wife in the background

But I have more than this, I have more than this

And if Mr Chaste, he has a past

Give it to me



I was nearly 16 years old

You were only 17, life isn't so complicated

But then life isn't 'sposed to be

For all these years

For all these years
