| Song | It Once Was My Life |
| Artist | Van Morrison |
| Album | The Healing Game |
| 作词 : Morrison | |
| There were people on the sidewalks | |
| Strolling down the avenues | |
| They were sitting outside in cafes | |
| We were looking for the muse | |
| Well I was locked in by the system | |
| Where no freedom is the rule | |
| Now I spend all my time just trying | |
| To make it understood | |
| It once was my life, that's what everybody said | |
| All the things I used to do and the people that were friends | |
| I've got to make it mean something at the end of the day | |
| It once was my life, they can't take that away | |
| Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules | |
| Sometimes it looks like I'm on a ship of fools | |
| It once was my life, when my message was just the street | |
| Then it became something else, and now it's incomplete | |
| I'm just trying to get back to when | |
| Can somebody please shed some light | |
| It used to be my life, it used to be uptight | |
| Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules | |
| Some days it just feels like I'm on a ship of fools | |
| I'm back here on the boards, I can hear the engines roar | |
| Everybody's got to pay, some people got to pay more | |
| Well you can tell the people anything | |
| Spoon feed them anything you like | |
| It used to be so simple, it used to be my life | |
| Now everything is so complicated, just to speak or use the phone | |
| Some people try to use me, just 'cause they don't have their own | |
| Don't know who's round the corner, trying to sell me some more tripe | |
| It used to be my life, it used to be my life..... |
