Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel Best Years of Our Lives Lyrics

European maids, hard to ignore
You, me and the boys, barred from the shore
Fresh-faced imbeciles, laughing at me
I've been laughing myself, is that so hard to see?
Do I have to spell each letter out Honestly!
If there's no room for laughter there's no room for me
For me...........

Try looking at you, rather than me
No truth is in here, it's all fantasy
Since the last time we met I've been through,
About seven hundred changes and that's just a few.
And the changes all tend to be something to do
But you've got to believe that they're all done for you
For you .........

Chorus:
You'll think it's tragic when that moment first arrives
Ah, but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives.

Lost now for the words to tell you the truth...
Please banter with me the banter of youth.....
If I knew how to say it I would say it for you
If I knew how to whisper I'd whisper,for you
If I knew how to waltz I'd get up and dance for you
If I thought I could run I'd come running to you
To you..........

I've discovered now how to be fair......
And this I could teach you if only I dare
The only conclusion 1've reached in my life
Is that if I should die I should die-by the knife
Since it's only a matter of courage all right,
Die a man or a martyr, the two would be nice, so nice
So nice................

Chorus:
Oh You'll think it's tragic, when that moment arrives
Ah,oh but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives.
Oh,oh you'll think it's tragic,when that moment first arrives,
Ah, oh but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives.
