Favourite Songs
My best years are behind me
But I'll be damned if I'm giving up
Your intervention was timely
I was acceptable at a push
Am I able
To sit at the big boys' table?
Or shall I stare at my navel?
I'll never be seen as stable
Bathed in the light from the gymnasium
If your advice was a pill, then I'd be taking some
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
My worst years are behind me
I drink from a replenished cup
There's still a lack of certainty
History is constructed and there's the rub
Am I able
To sit at the big boys' table?
Or shall I stare at my navel?
The grave is nearer than the cradle
Bathed in the light from the gymnasium
If your advice was a pill, then I'd be taking some
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
It'll be churlish of me to complain
You must be used to it by now
I could've handled it more like a pro
But there you go
You should be used to it by now
When the ocean comes a-calling
You'll be there like a shot
A walk across the suburbs
The land that time, the land that time
The land that time forgot
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
Just for a day
They'll fade away
If only for a day
But I'll be damned if I'm giving up
Your intervention was timely
I was acceptable at a push
Am I able
To sit at the big boys' table?
Or shall I stare at my navel?
I'll never be seen as stable
Bathed in the light from the gymnasium
If your advice was a pill, then I'd be taking some
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
My worst years are behind me
I drink from a replenished cup
There's still a lack of certainty
History is constructed and there's the rub
Am I able
To sit at the big boys' table?
Or shall I stare at my navel?
The grave is nearer than the cradle
Bathed in the light from the gymnasium
If your advice was a pill, then I'd be taking some
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
It'll be churlish of me to complain
You must be used to it by now
I could've handled it more like a pro
But there you go
You should be used to it by now
When the ocean comes a-calling
You'll be there like a shot
A walk across the suburbs
The land that time, the land that time
The land that time forgot
Tell me your favorite songs
And I'll tell you mine and we'll sing along
And all of our troubles will fade away
Just for a day
They'll fade away
If only for a day
