Did You Have A Nice Life Without Me? - Cock Sparrer

It seems so long, so many years

Since that old school song echoed in my ears

You made plans — I played in a Band

You wanted flowers an walks in the park

I wanted sound-checks and getting up after dark

You made plans — I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone?

Have you got some sprogs?

Did you buy a big house?

Have you got a pet dog?

Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?

Did you have a nice life without me?

We were young, I didn’t understand

Life was fun, no time for making plans

You made plans — I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone?

Have you got some sprogs?

Did you buy a big house?

Have you got a pet dog?

Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?

Did you have a nice life without me?

Your friends all wanted «our tunes» and school run 4×4's

And my friends all booked their honeymoons

And bought their wedding cakes

My friends just got in the way

Your mum said «give him the elbow, he’s running your life»

And my mum said «you'd make a lovely wife»

Your brother told me «piss off or he’d knock me down the stairs» —

What a love affair

Then our dreams grew up and went their separate ways

Two young lovers — a lifetime away

You made plans — I played in a Band

Did you marry anyone?

Have you got some sprogs?

Did you buy a big house?

Have you got a pet dog?

Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?

Did you have a nice life without me?

Did you have a nice life without me?
