Lyrics
Times past me by No 96 TAXI No L-0403-1463
WHY WASN?T I BORN SOON ENOUGH 20 YEARS TOO LATE,
LIVING IN THE WRONG TIME WHY COULDN?T IT WAIT,
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, GUITARS AND FLOWERS,
THE 60?s ERA HAD MAGICAL POWERS,
CHORUS
SO HIT IT ON WITH THE TAMBOURINE MAN,
GET THE MESSAGE FROM TELEGRAM SAM,
TAKE A TRIP THROUGH THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS,
GET IT ON WITH THE WOODSTOCK DREAM,
YEAH GET OUTTA THAT ALL TIME LOW,
GO LISTEN TO JIMMY?S HEY JOE,
TIMES PAST ME BY, TIMES PAST ME BY,
I DREAM ABOUT GOING BACK
SEE THE GENIE SMOKING CHIMNEY STACKS,
I?D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE BACK THERE,
EVEN SELL MY SOUL I DON?T CARE,
TELL ME WHERE IT?S ALL GONE,
IF I HAVE TO I?LL RIDE A WHITE SWAN,
CHORUS
I KNOW I CAN?T GET BACK ANYWAY,
SO I?LL START IT HERE ALL OVER AGAIN,
WE NEED SOMETHING TO EASE THE SADNESS,
TAKE AWAY THE MADNESS,
HELP FROM HIGH UP ABOVE,
WITH MONEY CAN?T BUY ME LOVE, CAN?T BUY ME LOVE.
CHORUS
(REPEAT)
