I got a scent on you. I got something here to show
  (It's) somebody's slice of life
  I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world
  And for all these things you tell me, well
  I can't quite believe
  You are still there and trying to be somebody
    Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us
  We don't have anything to say, nothing to give
  Well, it blows away
  I have another chance, I may have two lives
  But both my lives will be brief lives
  And then, you all will wonder why
    I was nearly 16 years old
  You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
  But then life isn't 'sposed to be
  For all these years
  For all these years
    Could somebody tell them
  To hurry on, hurry on down
  Wouls somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down
    Every censor, everybody loses their way
  I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you
    Every lover
  Well they all tell lies
  Yes, I have his wife in the background
  But I have more than this, I have more than this
  And if Mr Chaste, he has a past
  Give it to me
    I was nearly 16 years old
  You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
  But then life isn't 'sposed to be
  For all these years
  For all these years
