[Verse 1]
The day I mugged an old lady, was the day that ruined my life
I was in a big gang of skin'eads, they were very good friends of mine
We were thick, thick as three planks of wood
And we did it just because we could
[Verse 2]
The night I pissed on a mattress, was a moment of disbelief
When I woke up cold in the morning, she didn't
And I fell into bed like a stone
I wet the bed oh but at least I got home
[Chorus]
Back in the day when I was young
I thought that life was just for fun
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to changе
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
Back in thе day
[Verse 3]
The day I punched you in Harrods, was a day that I won't forget
I was removed by a man and a woman, I was totally out of my head
And I'm sorry I acted that way, but all of it was
Back in the day
[Chorus]
Back in the day when I was young
I thought that life was just for fun
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
Back in the day
[Verse 4]
The day I threw up in a matchbox, was bizarre beyond any doubt
I'd been on a bottle of Teachers, I was trying not to let it flow out
I was drunk but with OCD
What on earth was the matter with me?
[Chorus]
So here I am, I'm as soft as cream
And I'm still living my improbable dream
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as
[Chorus]
Back in the day when I was young
I thought that life was just for fun
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
Back in the day
[Outro]
