Testo It Once Was My Life - Van Morrison
Testo della canzone It Once Was My Life (Van Morrison), tratta dall'album The Healing Game (Deluxe Edition)
There were people on the sidewalks (sidewalks)
Strolling down the avenues (aveneus)
They were sitting outside in cafes (cafes)
We were looking for the muse (for the muse)
Well, I was locked in by the system
Where no freedom is the rule
Now, I spend all my time (all my time)
Just tryin' to make it understood (understood)
"It once was my life"
That's what everybody said
All the things I used to do and the people that we're friends
I've got to make it mean something at the end of the day
It once was my life, they can't take that away
Trials and tribulations
And stupidity still rules
Sometimes, it looks like I'm on a ship of fools
It once was my life
When my message was just the street
Then it became something else
And now it's incomplete
I'm just trying to get back to when,
can somebody please shed some light?
It used to be my life, it used to be uptight
Trials and tribulations
And stupidity still rules
Some days it just feels like
I'm on a ship of fools
I'm back here on the boards
I can hear the engines roar
Everybody's got to pay, some people got to pay more
Well, you can tell the people anything
Spoon feed them anything you like
It used to be so simple, it used to be my life
Now everything is so complicated
Just to speak or use the phone
Some people try to use me
Just 'cause they don't have their own
Don't know who's round the corner, trying to sell me some more tripe
It used to be my life, it used to be my life
It used to be my life, it used to be my life
It used to be my life, it used to be my life
It used to be my life, it used to be my life
