My Very Last Mistake
Once I was a young boy -
life was gonna pass this young boy by.
Then I was a young man
a young man with a sparkle in his eye.
life was gonna pass this young boy by.
Then I was a young man
a young man with a sparkle in his eye.
The world around me owed me a good living
The world around was mine alone to take
The world around was mine alone to take
But I soon discovered I wasn’t due a penny
And that had been my very first mistake.
And that had been my very first mistake.
When I was a grown man -
life turned round and gave me a black-eye
Then life when I became a man told me -
that it was gonna make that sparkle die.
life turned round and gave me a black-eye
Then life when I became a man told me -
that it was gonna make that sparkle die.
The world around me owed me a good living
The world around was mine alone to take
The world around was mine alone to take
But I soon discovered I wasn’t due a penny
And that had been my very first mistake.
And that had been my very first mistake.
Then I was an old man -
life had passed and so my time was due
This old man deep in contemplation
Knew that there was nothing he could do
life had passed and so my time was due
This old man deep in contemplation
Knew that there was nothing he could do
He thought the world around owed him a living
He thought the world around was his to take
He thought the world around was his to take
But he soon discovered he wasn’t due a penny
And that had been his very first mistake.
And that had been his very first mistake.
If I had it all again -
life would make this young boy fly.
Once I was a young man
I’d live it with a sparkle in my eye
life would make this young boy fly.
Once I was a young man
I’d live it with a sparkle in my eye
I thought the world around owed me a living
I thought the world around was mine to take
I thought the world around was mine to take
But I soon discovered I wasn’t due a penny
And that had been my very last mistake.
And that had been my very last mistake.
