Idlewild

(album: The Christmas Present - 2019)

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Where we met on Christmas Eve)

She's an aristo, I'm working class
And I treated her real bad
I never got to apologise
About the man who made you sad

I know I said a lot 'cause I was wired
When you're young you're a machine
We were drinking with the Idlewild
In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

Then I moved into her big old house
I never been to Saint John's Wood
There were movie stars and media types
We were all up to no good

And we all said a lot 'cause we were wild
What a twisted web we weave (What a twisted web we weave)
We were living with the Idlewild
In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

I know who you're with, and I know where you are
I know you found love and you deserved it
I was just a kid, but I know what I did
I ask for forgiveness if I'm worth it

We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve
