Hes not the only one
To think that things are going wrong
And all around is only second best.
Time was when all was fair
And we built solid castles in the air
He said that back to back in times the way to go
Better in my day
I hear everybody say
But then theyll still be saying it tomorrow
Its so hard to take it
When your time is over
Yes its hard to take it
When you try to remember
Better in my day, in my way, cant you see
Better in my way, here to-day, dont you see
I remember well he said,
When great men led the way instead
Of manicure and media-hugging style
But I dont know what to do
From now on well always lose
He said that back to back in times the way to go
Better in my day
I hear everybody say
But then theyll still be saying it tomorrow
Its so hard to take it
When your time is over
Yes its hard to take it
When you try to remember
Better in my day, in my way, cant you see
Better in my way, here to-day, dont you see
Hes not the only one
To think that things are going wrong
And all around is only second best
But I dont know what to do
From now on well always lose
He said that back to back in times the way to go
The only way to go
Try to remember
Oh better in my day, better in my way...
