Better Days

You never made it outta town
I guess it was too much to ask for
Big dreams they all fall down
The teenage thugs all cops and bouncers

Teddy boys at the central station
No brains, no imagination
Kick your head in if they get a chance
Lace your boots ‘cause we didn’t come to dance

So say goodbye to the good ol’ days
We’ve been through hell and back again
We left a mark, we carved our names
But these are better days
Remember when the times were tough
Remember when you’d had enough
You stand up for the ones you love
‘Cause these are better days

You hit your peak so long ago
You’re still obsessed with faded glory
Now bitterness and sadness shows
It could have been a different story

Bovver boys at the football matches
Harringtons with the racist patches
Kick your head in if they get a chance
Set ‘em up ‘cause we didn’t come to dance

So stop the clocks and freeze the frame
But I’m never going back again
Sunsets come and the seasons change
But I’m living for today… today!
