Letra de This Was Me (From ''Everybody's Talking About Jamie'' / Alternative Version)
Let me tell ya how it used to go Freddie playing on the radio The Iron Lady couldn't stop the show We felt like we could flyPoison patter and a barbed remark Bette Davis doing Joan of Arc Dirty glamour dancing in the dark On days that wouldn't die When we felt like we could flyIt was real love Look around and feel love Tearing up the floor Something we loved more More than lifeThis was me We were children in the night Every star burned twice as bright We were tough and we could fight And we held the lineThis was me Every sorrow had a song Every lost boy could belong We were young and never wrong And I was divineThis was me This was meEvery Friday we'd emerge reborn Keep on dancing 'til we saw the dawn Making history and breaking laws Oh God, how good that feels We were heroes in our heelsThis was me We were children in the night Every star burned twice as bright We were tough and we could fight And we held the lineThis was me So adored and born again Just a smoking ten for ten I was beautiful back then Yes, I was divineLet me take you round the bars I knew The stars I knew The padded bras I knew The cobbled alleyways, the ways I knew The maze I knew The waifs and strays I knewA siren singing to the way back when The wishing I could live it all again And now I pass it onto youWe were dreamers, only just begun We were sinners playing in the sun Kept on partying 'til '91 Until that fateful dayWe 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 stayThis was me Were we foolish to believe? That a painted face can't grieve We were hopelessly naive Just out of timeThis was me Every heart is made to break Sometimes love's a big mistake Every weekend was awake But weren't we divine?This was me This was me This was me This was me
