I got tired of falling for maidens hearts  But being by myself, yeah, was twice as hard  I couldn´t deal with all the problems mostly brought on by myself  So I ran to another girl in another town  Was besotted by your sister in Camden town  In her blue fake fur that she 'slung' around  We drank and had sex on a water soaken bed, yeah, yeah  She was the first Italian girl that I´d met  Those days have gone  Those days I knew would never last in the end  Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast  Hey  Hey, you  Yeah  I remember seeing you on La Brea avenue  I whistled from the back of a yellow cab  Well, you smiled and you waved and you, you shouted my name  I just drove on and I never looked back  Those days have gone  Those days I knew would never last  Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast  I said, hey  I said, hey  I said, hey  I lived on my own for a while back in 1983  On top of the scum half junky building for forty quid  I caught the boat to Sweden  I never wanted to come back  I stayed there  I said that  It´s in my past  That´s the past, yeah, yeah  My past, my, yeah  Those days have gone  Those days I knew would never last, yeah  Now we´ve all grown apart, oh, so fast  Those days have  Those days have  Those days have, oooh  Those days have  Those days have  Those days have, oooh  (Those days I knew would never last)  Those days have  Those days have  Those days have gone  (Those days I knew would never last)  (Those days I knew would never last)  (Those days I knew would never last)
