Lyrics:

When we were simple and nave
We wore our feelings on our sleeve
As we've grown jaded and
corrupt
Our manner's guarded and abrupt

Oh, how we'd smile most readily
Whilst
ploughing on unsteadily
Now frowns are etched upon our face
We can no longer stand the
pace

Although we've got to go with the passing show
It doesn't ever mean we haven't
made the scene
And what we think we know to what is really so
Is but a smithereen of what it
might have been

We'd sing in gay abandon then
We'd get it wrong and try again
As
here we brood with doubts assailed
Nothing ventured, nothing failed

When life itself
can chart the course
Then life's the product we endorse
When circumstances tell of
death
We keep our counsel, save our breath

Our laughter rang around the world
When
we were happy boys and girls
As now we baulk and hesitate
Encumbrance comes to those who
wait

But when we're torn from mortal coil
We leave behind a counterfoil
It's what
we did and who we knew
And that's what makes this story true
