Bring It On Back
Sitting here drinking
Thinking when did I first meet you
Was it last November?
Maybe on reflection
My powers of recollection
Are shot right through
I just can't remember when...
You came into my life
(?) and guilty like an unfaithful wife
Drag me around
Like a dog on a string
Never a thought to what the future might...
Bring it on back
(Back to a time beyond your ken)
You gotta bring it on back
(My life was so much simpler then)
I don't need these complications
Could live without your vaccilations
Take it back to the time
When my world was sublime
And unscathed
By your hocus-pocus
I couldn't read the signs
But it wasn't just the wine
It's my life that is so out of focus
So I switched on the TV
The quizmaster said
There's nothing in this game
For two in a bed
Just out of earshot
The telephone rings
No one's to hear what the future might...
Bring it on back
(Back to a time beyond your ken)
You gotta bring it on back
(My life was so much simpler then)
Cos I don't need these complications
Could live without your vaccilations
Who could I turn to
That might understand?
The last thing I need
Is this chain of command
Give me a band
That gives me freedom to roam
(?) me down to this place you call...
Bring it on back
(Back to a time beyond your ken)
You gotta bring it on back
(My life was so much simpler then)
I don't need these complications
Could live without your vaccilations
Bring it back
(Back to a time beyond your ken)
You gotta bring it on back
(My life was so much simpler then)
I don't need these complications
Could live without your vaccilations
Just bring it back
You gotta bring it on back
