For all these Years Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram
I got a scent on you. I got something here to show
(It's) somebody's slice of life
I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world
And for all these things you tell me, well
I can't quite believe
You are still there and I'M trying to be somebody
Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us
We don't have anything to say, nothing to give
Well, LIFE it blows away
I have another chance, I may have two lives
But my BOTH lives will be brief lives
And then, you all will wonder why
I was ONLY 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years
Could somebody tell them
To hurry on, hurry on down
PLEASE somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down
Every censor, everybody loses their way
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you
Every lover
Well they all tell lies
I HAVE THIS wife in the background
But I have more than this, I have more than this
And if Mr Chaste, he has a past
Give it to me
I was ONLY 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years
(It's) somebody's slice of life
I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world
And for all these things you tell me, well
I can't quite believe
You are still there and I'M trying to be somebody
Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us
We don't have anything to say, nothing to give
Well, LIFE it blows away
I have another chance, I may have two lives
But my BOTH lives will be brief lives
And then, you all will wonder why
I was ONLY 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years
Could somebody tell them
To hurry on, hurry on down
PLEASE somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down
Every censor, everybody loses their way
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you
Every lover
Well they all tell lies
I HAVE THIS wife in the background
But I have more than this, I have more than this
And if Mr Chaste, he has a past
Give it to me
I was ONLY 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years
