It's Alright (Attica Blues)

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87 All those hours spent stargazing in the Bastions of the night Prancing and the dancing As opportunities knocked within celebrity Corridors I could have been famous you know She mutters to her young ones who have heard It too many times before But it's alright Cos that was then and this is now It's alright Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way He stumbles over debris of last night's Take-out Tasting memories of arms around him Not like the nights before Things were different then Anyway It's been a long night out But those old moves don't seem to drop the Same way they did back then But it's alright Cos that was then and this is now It's alright Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way He's late, he's late again But this time there's no excuse for him to give As he approached to find her standing there Seems my time with you was spent waiting for the right moment Waiting for that break you always went on about But no more 'cos to stay... and wait... Would mean our lives will never change Sits in her chair as she listens to '87 All those hours spent stargazing in the Bastions of the night But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright...
