lyrics

One after the other for as long as I remember
I know that things are different since the last December
I've done a lot since then, can't recall all that I've seen
Always heading forwards without really knowing what that means
I lost the map back their somewhere, had a plan I'm sure I did
Am I supposed to be here? Was this my dream when I was a kid?
I've decided that I couldn't really give a shit
I'm happy in my life and if that's not a dream then tellme what is

I should have played for England by now
I should have left this old town and not come back
I should have money in my pocket
A house and a wife
A job in middle management and a grown up social life
None of these things have I got and you can keep the lot
You cannot buy what I've got
No you cannot buy what I've got

The other day a friend of mine took me to one side and said
If you carry on this way you'll forever be in the red
After this is over all you'll have are a bunch of songs
You'd better make yourself some money, don't wait too long
I took this friend of mine, took him to one side and said
I've got my own road to take, keep your eyes straight ahead
As long as I've enough for pints of beer and guitar strings
As long as I am able I will play and I will sing

I should have played for England by now
I should have left this old town and not come back
I should have money in my pocket
A house and a wife
A job in middle management and a grown up social life
None of these things have I got and you can keep the lot
You cannot buy what I've got
No you cannot buy what I've got
