about

An old demo, which I decided to leave in it's raw form and include on this collection, after adding some strings on the second half of the song.

lyrics

So you bought a brand new car today
Will it take you so far away
From the wreckage of your life
Can you stand another day?

Butcher still gonna stroll into that bar
Where all those precious losers are
And your still gonna pick up that guitar
And sing of all your pains and troubles so far

Coz only they know who you are
And they really like your brand new car

So drink to tommorow
And sink back in the haze
And sing a song about today, baby
Coz these are the good olde days

Now the new kid wants to be your friend
But will he stick around until the bitter end?
Well that's a chance you might as well take
Coz there's so many memories you still ain't made

You wrap your coat around her and you're holding hands
And you reminisce about the moonlight on the sand
She waves from her porch as you look back from the street
And with a certain smile she promises
she'll always be around
Coz only she knows who you are
And she loves it when you play your guitar

So drink to tomorrow and the next bitter phase
And sing a song about today, baby
Coz these are the good olde days

I need someone to talk to tonight
And come tomorrow I know I'll be alright
Mick Jagger's singing, "Daddy you're a fool to cry"
And indeed it makes me wonder why
Coz only he knows how I feel
And I know there'll always be something real

So drink to tomorrow
When a better glass is raised
And sing a song about today, baby
Coz these are the good olde days

So drink to tomorrow
As you master the evening's maze
And sing a song about today, baby
Coz these are the good olde days
