Richard Clapton - Best years of our lives

Oh, Michael, all the lines are down, it's Australia Day again
Every time the wheel slows down, I think of all my friends
Whatever happened to the days way back, the Bondi Lifesaver
Was always raging
I'm standin' here in Oxford Street, and the ghosts are howling
And jeez it's raining
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I wish I had been around when the Bondi Icebergs reigned
Sometimes I sit and think of it, and I dream of better days
Whatever happened to the days way back, in the 1930s
All those endless parties
I'm still too young to understand, how it was back then
And the party ends
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
They say the circle turns around, there'll be better days
And I don't mind waitin'
I wish time had stopped ten years ago
But I'm learning slowly, life is always changing
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
Whoa, whoa
I got a letter from Doctor Pepper, ten thousand words to the page
He was talking about Gurdjieff, and I dozed off about half way
Whatever happened to the days way back, when the world was safe
And it seemed worth saving
We search for leaders on our hands and knees
But you don't ask David, 'cause he's still crazy, yeah
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I say, "Don't waste time
These are the best years of our lives"
I say, "Don't"
I say, "Don't"
I say, "Don't waste time" (Don't waste)
"These are the best years of our lives" (time)
I say, "Don't waste time" (Don't waste)
"These are the best years of our lives" (time)
I say, "Don't" (Don't)
I say, "Don't" (waste)
I say, "Don't waste time" (time)
I say, "Don't" (Don't)
I say, "Don't" (waste)
I say, "Don't waste time" (time)
