I got tired of falling for maidens hearts

But being by myself, yeah, was twice as hard

I couldn´t deal with all the problems mostly brought on by myself

So I ran to another girl in another town



Was besotted by your sister in Camden town

In her blue fake fur that she 'slung' around

We drank and had sex on a water soaken bed, yeah, yeah

She was the first Italian girl that I´d met



Those days have gone

Those days I knew would never last in the end

Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast



Hey

Hey, you

Yeah



I remember seeing you on La Brea avenue

I whistled from the back of a yellow cab

Well, you smiled and you waved and you, you shouted my name

I just drove on and I never looked back





Those days have gone

Those days I knew would never last

Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast



I said, hey

I said, hey

I said, hey



I lived on my own for a while back in 1983

On top of the scum half junky building for forty quid

I caught the boat to Sweden

I never wanted to come back

I stayed there

I said that

It´s in my past

That´s the past, yeah, yeah

My past, my, yeah



Those days have gone

Those days I knew would never last, yeah

Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast



Those days have

Those days have

Those days have, oooh

Those days have

Those days have

Those days have, oooh

(Those days I knew would never last)

Those days have

Those days have

Those days have gone

(Those days I knew would never last)

(Those days I knew would never last)

(Those days I knew would never last
