I got tired of falling for maidens hearts
But being by myself, yeah, was twice as hard
I couldn´t deal with all the problems mostly brought on by myself
So I ran to another girl in another town
Was besotted by your sister in Camden town
In her blue fake fur that she 'slung' around
We drank and had sex on a water soaken bed, yeah, yeah
She was the first Italian girl that I´d met
Those days have gone
Those days I knew would never last in the end
Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast
Hey
Hey, you
Yeah
I remember seeing you on La Brea avenue
I whistled from the back of a yellow cab
Well, you smiled and you waved and you, you shouted my name
I just drove on and I never looked back
Those days have gone
Those days I knew would never last
Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast
I said, hey
I said, hey
I said, hey
I lived on my own for a while back in 1983
On top of the scum half junky building for forty quid
I caught the boat to Sweden
I never wanted to come back
I stayed there
I said that
It´s in my past
That´s the past, yeah, yeah
My past, my, yeah
Those days have gone
Those days I knew would never last, yeah
Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast
Those days have
Those days have
Those days have, oooh
Those days have
Those days have
Those days have, oooh
(Those days I knew would never last)
Those days have
Those days have
Those days have gone
(Those days I knew would never last)
(Those days I knew would never last)
(Those days I knew would never last
