lyrics

verse 1
rest yer weary bones on my sofa me auld segoita
we can sip tea from a scauldy mug
regale the tails of our yester-years
glorious ways we misspent our youth
smoking down back alleys, bagsy on yer apple
your ma wears army boots, and she never goes to chapel
I knew a crooked man once, and he walked that crooked mile
making money outta misery, he wore a crooked smile

chorus
in those glorious days of our squandering youth
we were running down back lanes we were searching for truth
in those glory days

verse 2
me ma says life is short but the journey it is long
ye better thicken up the skin son, if ya wanna get along
you better learn how to walk 'fore you learn how to run
better learn how to be a man, son ye better learn how to love
when we were young, we'd all cycle our bikes out into the sun
then we'd all play kiss chasin till we caught the right one

chorus 2
in those glorious days of our squandering youth
we were running down back lanes we were searching for truth
in those glorious days were we misspent our youth
we were kissing down back lanes we were searching for truth
in those glory days
rest your weary bones me auld segotia
yor sipping tea here with me on my comfy old sofa
glory days yeah.
