Sits in her chair as she listens to '87

All those hours spent stargazing in the

Bastions of the night

Prancing and the dancing

As opportunities knocked within celebrity

Corridors

I could have been famous you know

She mutters to her young ones who have heard

It too many times before



But it's alright

Cos that was then and this is now

It's alright

Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way



He stumbles over debris of last night's

Take-out

Tasting memories of arms around him

Not like the nights before

Things were different then

Anyway

It's been a long night out

But those old moves don't seem to drop the

Same way they did back then



But it's alright

Cos that was then and this is now

It's alright

Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way



He's late, he's late again

But this time there's no excuse for him to give

As he approached to find her standing there

Seems my time with you was spent waiting for the right moment

Waiting for that break you always went on about

But no more 'cos to stay... and wait...



Would mean our lives will never change



Sits in her chair as she listens to '87

All those hours spent stargazing in the

Bastions of the night



But it's alright

But it's alright

But it's alright

But it's alright...
