|
Beating time on cardboard boxes |
|
In an attic cold as ice |
|
We were Freddie & The Dreamers |
|
With stars before our eyes |
|
But as we loaded up the Dansette |
|
With a stack of 45's |
|
How could we have known that these were |
|
The best years of our lives |
|
It's so long ago |
|
It seem like an age |
|
Whatever happened to the dream |
|
We didn't wake up suddenly |
|
Reality creeps up from behind |
|
Leaving you running out of time |
|
Bought a ticket at the station |
|
Waved my brother John goodbye |
|
Got the ferry down to Hamburg |
|
Went looking for a life |
|
I began my education |
|
Learned my lessons on the road |
|
Started living for the moment |
|
And following the code |
|
They can't take away |
|
My memories |
|
Whatever happened to the dream |
|
We didn't wake up suddenly |
|
Reality creeps up from behind |
|
Leaving you running out of time |
|
They can't take away |
|
My memories |
|
Whatever happened to the dream |
|
We didn't wake up suddenly |
|
Reality creeps up from behind |
|
Leaving you running out of time |
