Holly Johnson, Richard E. Grant - This Was Me lyrics

Let me tell you how it used to go
Freddie playing on the radio
The Iron Lady couldn't stop the show
We felt like we could fly

Poison patter and a barbed remark
Bette Davies doing Joan of Arc
Dirty glamour dancing in the dark
On days that wouldn't die
When we felt like we could fly

It was real love look around and feel love
Tearing up the floor something we love more
More than life

This was me we were children in thе night
Every star burned twice as bright
Wе were tough and we could fight
We held the line

This was me every sorrow had a song
Every lost boy could belong
We were young and never wrong i was divine

This was me this was me

Every friday we'd emerge reborn
Keep on dancing till we saw the dawn
Making history and breaking laws
Oh god, how good that feels
We were heroes in our heels this was me
We were children in the night
Every star burned twice as bright
We were tough and we could fight
We held the line

This was me so adored and born again
She's a smoking ten for ten
I was beautiful back then i was divine

Let me take you round the bars I knew
The stars I knew the battle scars I knew

The cobbled alleyways, the ways I knew
The maze I knew the waifs and strays I knew

The siren singing to the way back when
And wishing I could live it all again

But now I pass it on to you

We were dreamers, only just begun
We were sinners, playing in the sun
Kept on partying until '91
Until that fateful day

We were peacocks in exotic herds
Wouldn't listen to the warning words
That's the problem with such pretty birds
They always fly away

Even Freddie couldn't stay

This was me were we foolish to believe
That a painted face can't grieve
We were hopelessly naive
And just out of time

This was me every heart is made to break
Sometimes love is a big mistake
Every weekend was a wake
But weren't we divine

This was me this was me
This was me
