Idlewild

(Where we met on Christmas Eve)

She's an aristo, I'm working class

And I treated her real bad

I never got to apologise

About the man who made you sad

I know I said a lot 'cause I was wired

When you're young you're a machine

We were drinking with the Idlewild

In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the morning light

Like we were never going home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

Then I moved into her big old house

I never been to Saint John's Wood

There were movie stars and media types

We were all up to no good

And we all said a lot 'cause we were wild

What a twisted web we weave (What a twisted web we weave)

We were living with the Idlewild

In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the morning light

Like we were never going home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

I know who you're with, and I know where you are

I know you found love and you deserved it

I was just a kid, but I know what I did

I ask for forgiveness if I'm worth it

We drank until the morning light

Like we were never going home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve
