WHEN Ringo...
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid in Liverpool
The rain never stopped
But the sun always shone in my mind, in Liverpool
The streets were long and wide
There were places we could hide in our mind
Walking to Sefton Park and it's a beautiful day
But we should be going to school, but anyway
[Chorus]
Me and boys, me and the gang
Living our fantasies
Breaking the rules, acting like fools
That's how it was for me
How was it for you?
[Verse 2]
At H. Hunt & Son in Liverpool
An apprentice engineer
But I had something very clear in my mind, in Liverpool
Music was my goal
In my heart and in my soul and in my mind
Walking to the Iron Door on a beautiful night
Well, I knew I wanted more, it felt so right
[Chorus]
Me and the girl, me and the band
Living our fantasies
Breaking the rules, acting like fools
That's how it was for me
How was it for you?
How was it for you?
How was it for you?
How was it for you?
[Chorus]
Me and boys, me and the gang
Living our fantasies
Breaking the rules, acting like fools
That's how it was for me
Me and boys, me and the gang
Living our fantasies
Breaking the rules, acting like fools
That's how it was for me
How was it for you?
