Haunts Me

Well the good times are paying, but the bad times they come free,
ItÂ’s been a good few years in the lonely lane, but still it lingers like a stain,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
IÂ’ve got a hole in my head and it just wonÂ’t let me be,
But some days IÂ’m happy, and other days I just weep,
Well if I told you what IÂ’d done that day, I know youÂ’d never talk to me again,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
All the time IÂ’m hanging round, IÂ’m dodging all the danger,
I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger.
Now donÂ’t you worry yourself, cos your friend now lives in peace,
Even though you had to bury all the evidence in the sea,
They found his hair and his brains in an open bag, at the bottom where the wartime ship had sank,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
All the time IÂ’m hanging round, IÂ’m dodging all the danger,
I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger.
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me
Haunts me, yah yah yah yah yah.
