[Verse 1]

I was born in '67

The year of "Sgt. Pepper"

And "Are You Experienced"

Into a suburb of heaven

Yeah, it should have been forever

It all seemed to make so much sense

[Chorus]

But after a while

You realise time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

She said, "Luck is all you make it

You just reach out and take it

Now, let's dance a while"

She said, "Nothing ever happens

If you don't make it happen

And if you can't laugh, then smile"

[Chorus]

But after a while

You realise time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

[Post-Chorus]

And laughing in the summer showers

Is still the way I see you now

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

How does time break down?

With no marker, things slow down

A conference of the strange

And your family is deranged

[Verse 3]

I could tell you what I'm thinking

While we sit here drinking

But I'm not sure where to start

You see, there's something wrong here

I'm sorry if I'm not clear

Can you stop smoking your cigar?

[Chorus]

But after a while

You realise time flies

And the best thing that you can do

Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies

[Post-Chorus]

And the coat you wore to Alton Towers

Is still the way I see you now

[Instrumental Outro]
