Lyrics
MAGIC DAYS
I'll be John, you be Paul
We were sixteen, we knew it all
With a Beatle bass and a gold Les Paul
Making noise in your mother's basement
We were gonna take the world by storm
Three chords and the truth, yeah it wouldn't take long
And we wouldn't bow down and we wouldn't conform
No matter the odds that faced us
But ties get loose and come undone
Not all dreams come true
So you blame me and I blame you
When the fun felt like work
We went our separate ways
But looking back, those were magic days
You be Mick, I'll be Keith
Playing at Westmoor on New Year's Eve
With our glam rock clothes, they couldn't believe
They were still in the middle of Ohio
So we moved to Boston to make our stand
Played the Rat, and Storyville, the Channel and the Tam
Had a number one record on BCN
While we waited for a label to sign us
But ties get loose and come undone?
There was Macho Dan Callahan
The world's worst booking agent
There was Ratso Rizzo, attorney at law
Saying stick with me, you'll make it
You'll make it, you'll make it
It was hard for me to understand
You could want more to life than a rock'n'roll band
So here we are, two middle aged men
But at least we're not in Ohio
Ties get loose and come undone
Not all dreams come true
So I blame me and you blame you
When the fun felt like work
We went our separate ways
But looking back, those were magic days
