Did You Have A Nice Life Without Me?

(album: Here We Stand - 2007)

It seems so long, so many years
Since that old school song echoed in my ears
You made plans I played in a Band

You wanted flowers and walks in the park
I wanted sound-checks and getting up after dark
You made plans I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs?
Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog?
Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?
Did you have a nice life without me?

We were young, I didn't understand
Life was fun, no time for making plans
You made plans I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs?
Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog?
Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?
Did you have a nice life without me?

Your friends all wanted "our tunes" and school run 4x4's
And my friends just practice indoors
Your friends all booked their honeymoons and bought their wedding cakes
My friends just got in the way

Your mum said "Give him the elbow, he's ruining your life"
And my mum said "You'd make a lovely wife"
Your brother told me to piss off or he'd knock me down the stairs
What a love affair

Then our dreams grew up and went their separate ways
Two young lovers a lifetime away
You made plans I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs?
Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog?
Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?
Did you have a nice life without me?
Did you have a nice life without me?
