Ah ah

Here's a song

About living in the past

If it was so good then

How come it didn't last?

If it helps you

I'll put it in a phrase

Those were the times

But these are the days

These are the days

These are the days

These are the days

These are the days

These are the days

The times you're smiling back on

Had that great sitcom

It hardly compensated

For the terror of the bomb

Let me help

'Cause you're looking through a haze

Those were the times

These are the days

These are the days

Hey hey hey

These are the days

Can you hear me now?

These are the days

Look around look around look around

These are the days

These are the days

Hey hey live today

These are the days

It's time to put the past away

These are the days

The more you do the more you say

These are the days

The more I need to get away

You're longing for a time

there never was

Now tell me the truth

You're looking for the reason

It's because

You're fighting for youth

But if I have to listen any more

To fantasy talk

Or any other bug you have

I'm leaving

Now I'm not saying

Everything is really great

Hey hey hey

After sixteen years

Of legalised class hate

Why waste time

Looking back for things to praise?

Those were the times huh

But these are the days

These are the days

Looking back in history

These are the days

Time to get contempory

These are the days

The past is not the place to be
