Conversation In Song Lyrics

[Derf]

Back when I was goin' to school,
I never learned a thing
All I did was daydream,
a-waitin' for the bell to ring
I had a certain teacher,
I always tried to impress her
When she stood up in the classroom,
I would mentally undress her

[AndyC]

When I was goin' to high school, in my late twenties,
cigarettes and booze was takin' most of my money.
So I got a factory job, away from them grades,
'cause that's the only way, man, you'll ever have it made.

[Derf]

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women:
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.

[retrorussell]

Before the breathing air is gone,
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime,
Out where the rivers like to run,
I stand alone and take back something worth remembering.

[Mr. DS]

Do You Remember
When We Fell In Love
We Were Young
And Innocent Then
Do You Remember
How It All Began
It Just Seemed Like Heaven
So Why Did It End?

[AndyC]

It was the third of September. That day I'll always remember.

[Mr. DS]

Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

[AndyC]

Those were the days, my friend. I thought they'd never end.

[Rev. Powell]

When I was seventeen, it was a very good year.

[Mr. DS]

She's only 17, the girl she gives me love like I've never seen.

[AndyC]

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older. Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.

[Mr. DS]

Well I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I build my life around you,
But time makes you bolder, children get older,
I'm getting older too

[Derf]

Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen again.
But I was a mere lad of sixteen;
I've aged a year since then.

[AndyC]

Every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines in my face gettin' clearer. The past is gone.

[Mr. DS]

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.  I'm asking him to change his ways.
