Del Amitri - I Was Here Lyrics
Though the coffins are calling Im not comingIm too young to listen and Im still scrawling onSee-saws and slides, skipping ropes and swings,Toothpaste and trousers, watches and wedding rings.She shouted to me under the juggernaut roar,This is the bad life, what are we here for?And wonderful world why are you fullOf endless monotony and tiresome fools?These people that surrounded me were damaged and doneAnd we were as compatible as swimming pools and slums.And why are you grinning from ear to ear,Isnt this the bad life?Though there was leads in the petrol and bacteria in the beerThough she moved away and left me hopeless, I was writingI was here.She said this bad life that Im leading is deceiving and depriving meI said why dont you try relieving me, while she was readingI was stealing from the library.And sweetness and sadness lived in sinWith built-in indigestion the new buildings held their stomachs inGoodness and badness were hardly anythingI wanted to love her but she was never inThough they were taking out tongues in the land of the gunThough the sweating was getting nearThough her head was hung saying I did not become her, I keep writingI was hereThough the dusts were growing in my lungs and someWere turning backs on the babies turning blueAnd I adore you but before you say I adore you tooSay I was here, and so were you
