------------------------------------------------------------------------------                             FOR ALL THESE YEARS                                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 still 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 nearly 16 years old      You were only 17, life isn't so complicated      But then life isn't supposed to be      For all these years      For all these years      Could somebody tell them      To hurry on, hurry on down      Would 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 us      Yes, I have his 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 nearly 16 years old      You were only 17, life isn't so complicated      But then life isn't supposed to be      For all these years      For all these years
