Everything Changes Lyrics - Steve Harley

I can remember heaven 

It came to me only seven years ago 

When I was a lad and from the 

Professionals I got fired 

Had a good time in a way 

Took a different trip a day 

Buried the fear that I was 

Only here to be borrowed or hired 

Chorus: oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same 

(shame ! shame !) 

Young enough to have some fun 

Old enough to hold a gun 

I can remember playing games with 

Pistols not so long ago 

Many times I reminisce 

About this solitude and bliss 

We enjoyed as children 

O did we really have to grow ? 

Chorus: oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same 

(shame ! shame !) 

She came to me soft, asunder 

Showed me the distant thunder blue 

Told me the clouds could help us all 

Told me the prophet says the man is deep in you 

I took a sonic pill and slept 

Begged her never tell then wept 

Any friend or enemy of me could 

Only lend you a clue.... 

Chorus: oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same 

(shame ! shame !)
