This Was Me

Lyrics

[HUGO] Let me tell you how it used to go Freddie playing on the radio The Iron Lady couldn't stop the show We felt like we could fly Poison patter and a barbed remark Bette Davies doing Joan of Arc Dirty glamour dancing in the dark On days that wouldn't die When we felt like we could fly [YOUNG HUGO] It was real love Look around and feel love Tearing up the floor Something we love more More than life This was me We were children in thе night Every star burned twice as bright Wе were tough and we could fight We held the line This was me Every sorrow had a song Every lost boy could belong We were young and never wrong I was divine This was me This was me Every friday we'd emerge reborn Keep on dancing till we saw the dawn Making history and breaking laws Oh god, how good that feels We were heroes in our heels This was me We were children in the night Every star burned twice as bright We were tough and we could fight We held the line This was me So adored and born again She's a smoking ten for ten I was beautiful back then I was divine Let me take you round the bars I knew The stars I knew The battle scars I knew The cobbled alleyways, the ways I knew The maze I knew The waifs and strays I knew The siren singing to the way back when And wishing I could live it all again [HUGO] But now I pass it on to you [YOUNG HUGO] We were dreamers, only just begun We were sinners, playing in the sun Kept on partying until '91 Until that fateful day [HUGO] We were peacocks in exotic herds Wouldn't listen to the warning words That's the problem with such pretty birds They always fly away Even Freddie couldn't stay [YOUNG HUGO] This was me Were we foolish to believe That a painted face can't grieve We were hopelessly naive And just out of time This was me Every heart is made to break Sometimes love is a big mistake Every weekend was a wake But weren't we divine This was me This was me This was me
