The days of wine and roses

Ch.: and I really don't know...

 (2X)



and I really don't know

and I really don't know

and I really don't know

cause I don't wanna know

I'm just standing here waiting for you to come clean

I'm just standing here waiting for you to come cleanI'd ask you what you want

but I don't think you'd know what I mean

Something happens and they call you on the telephone

something's missing and you know they want leave you alone

I'm not worried about youdon't worry about meI'm not worried about you

why should I be?I got a phone call from your mother

she wants to know where you have beenI got a phone call from your mother

I say ... ah ....I don't know where she is been

I'd tell you that we've been through thisI know I've told you that before

I'd try to find out where we missbut it gets to be such a chore

Ever since that time I told you it's soSomething gets my mind and I don't let go

and then the stories and wordsthey're here and gone

cause that's what you always sayI'd try to sit and talk with you

but you know moods change all the timeI'd try to wait a week or two

but by then I'd probably changed my mind.

She shows a scar where her face met his ring

She remembers the pain but she forgot his name

ah, it's alright it really didn't mean a thing



textbook case of a mistreated daughter

who's been told about some better offers

She agrees but she can't forget her father

 ....... then she remembers what she said

he had  teeth like a vise and hands like a muzzle

he wasn't polite but he had a way with words

on the day that he left she was honestly puzzled.

There is a place you might wanna go

it's right up my street

you might look and see the light shining

someone you might like to meet

He said "let's go for a ride"

says it all the time

you know you got a lot to live for

and you're gonna be mine

You shouldn't believe the things you reed in papers

they can't come true

I don't believe the things that you see on TV

they'll never happen to you

2 steps forward

don't say I didn't warn you

2 steps forward

I didn't warn you.

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred years ago

But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go

When you smile, I don't know what to do

Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me

But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned

When you smile, I don't know what to do

Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

And it seems like the end of the worldWhen you smile

Well there's never been a man who's been anymore than bones in sack

But it doesn't take much to hold the possibilities back

When you smile, I don't know what to do

Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

And it seems like the end of the worldWhen you smile

When you smile, I don't know what to do

Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

And it seems like the end of the worldYes, it seems like the end of the world

Yes, it seems like the end of the worldWhen you smileWhen you smile

When you smileWhen you smile

In my area there is a chain of being

and the most of the attentions is paid to lower things

Around here the rule is good faith

you choose your friends carefully and you're safe.

Well it's just goes to show

how wrong you can be

They say he was in a good position

a man of pride and ambition.

In this world there is one equation

the harder you work, the better is your station

Well tonight on the news I heard them say:

the man in the plaza had a resume.

We used to talk

about the best taid  plans of men

Nothing has changed

I'll just never be frightened again

I'm not gonna warn you

It's gone too far for that

I'm not gonna warn you

We took every clue

and thought it out in 

today it's dark outside

Now it's almost meaning less

Too little, too late.

The word from outside 

and she is on the ledge again

drawing a card

and threatening everything

I'm here wandering

where I got in

Everybody says I don't care

but I'm just trying to remember

the days of wine and roses

The priest from the parish

is looking for persuasion

the man with the notepad

wants verification

somebody says this was my creation

Her mother says it's your fault

you never looked after her

Her father arranging to

get back the furniture

I'm here wandering

what the reasons were.

and here it goes again

oh it's looking good again

oh no, I can't, can't, can't really conquer

oh it's enough to make we want to shout again

hey, it's a sure thing baby oh yeah

well it's a sure thing baby

you know it is



here it comes again

oh I can't, I can't start to fall again

oh no I don't, don't, don't know where it comes from

so it hits me again, again, again and again

oh yeah, it's a sure thing baby

well it's a sure thing baby

you know it is right



oh now listen, listen!



I can hear the bells again

oh the things are looking good again

again and again oh yeah
