For All These Years

I got a scent on you. I got something here to show (It's) somebody's slice of life I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world And for all these things you tell me, well I can't quite believe You are still there and trying to be somebody Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us We don't have anything to say, nothing to give Well, it blows away I have another chance, I may have two lives But both my lives will be brief lives And then, you all will wonder why I was nearly sixteen years old You were only seventeen, life isn't so complicated But then life isn't 'sposed to be For all these years For all these years Could somebody tell them To hurry on, hurry on down Would somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down Every censor, everybody loses their way I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you Every lover Well they all tell lies Yes, I have his wife in the background But I have more than this, I have more than this And if Mr Chaste, he has a past Give it to me I was nearly sixteen years old You were only seventeen, life isn't so complicated But then life isn't 'sposed to be For all these years For all these years --- For All These Years - Tanita Tikaram
