A Song For The Old Days - Dave Giles

I started this one the night i uploaded Bangarang.. its taken a couple of weeks, but i'm quite pleased with it. Really looking forward to getting a full band play it... I'm hearing saxophones and vocal harmonies all over it :D

Lyrics:
It doesn't seem that long ago
Since we dressed up as clowns and danced around Dublin
It doesn't seem that long ago
Or since those big nights out in London
we'd crash at my flat and record our own brand of hip hop
But it really was that long ago

And now real lifes taken over
So we don't see each other as much
And I'm as much to blame as anyone
So lets go out tonight
cos I don't want to hear you say
the only thing that we got have in common
Is that weemans getting married

And lets drink
1 cos we love it , 2 for the friends that we've lost
and a shot for the old days
3 for the women, and 4 cos we don't do this enough
and sing a song for the old days
Lets drink to the old days

There's nothing quite like Tommy in action
He'll high five a girl and then tell her that he designs biscuits
I've never got that to work for me
And mouse is the master of the dancefloor
his moves are sublime, he can sweep a girl right off their feet
I don't think I'll ever get that to work me

And Sméagol is a lurker
And I love our little chats,
And you should see him singing "angels"
And panos is the pretty one
but he don't mind that
I wanna get the boys all out tonight
I better talk it through with Smeagol

And lets drink
1 cos we love it , 2 for the friends that we've lost
and a shot for the old days
3 for the women, and 4 cos we don't do this enough
and sing a song for the old days
Lets drink to the old days

So lets book some flights away,
Live it up for a couple of days
And pretend we're turning twenty one again.
I can't wait for weemans stag do,
We'll paint the town just like we used to
But that's still a year away,
So lets all go out this weekend,
And lets drink
1 cos we love it , 2 for the friends that we've lost
and a shot for the old days
3 for the women, and 4 cos we don't do this enough
and sing a song for the old days
Lets drink to the old days
5 for tomorrow
and 6 in the bar that we love
and drink to the old days
8 on the dancefloor
and 9 cos I'll forgot how to count
its not the first time and it won't be the last
