It’s Alright

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87
All those hours spent stargazing in the
Bastions of the night
Prancing and the dancing
As opportunities knocked within celebrity
Corridors
I could have been famous you know
She mutters to her young ones who have heard
It too many times before

But it's alright
Cos that was then and this is now
It's alright
Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way

He stumbles over debris of last night's
Take-out
Tasting memories of arms around him
Not like the nights before
Things were different then
Anyway
It's been a long night out
But those old moves don't seem to drop the
Same way they did back then

But it's alright
Cos that was then and this is now
It's alright
Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way

He's late, he's late again
But this time there's no excuse for him to give
As he approached to find her standing there
Seems my time with you was spent waiting for the right moment
Waiting for that break you always went on about
But no more 'cos to stay... and wait...

Would mean our lives will never change

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87
All those hours spent stargazing in the
Bastions of the night

But it's alright
But it's alright
But it's alright
But it's alright...
