The Lyrics
IT WAS A TERRIBLE YEAR
The year that I was born, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year for one and all,
Especially my Dad
It turned out so bad, he was quite forlorn;
The year that I was born.
When I became a teen, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year, I bunked off school and then ran away
Well I just couldn’t stay, I dyed my hair green,
When I became a teen.
When I was forty four, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year, my wife had affairs,
With several of my friends; drove me clean round the bend.
She still wanted more,
When I was forty four.
And now my hair has gone, and all my teeth have fallen out.
And at the end of the day I sit and think what might have been,
If I had only seen; now it’s ended in tears,
After those terrible years.
The year that I was born, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year for one and all,
Especially my Dad
It turned out so bad, he was quite forlorn;
The year that I was born.
When I became a teen, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year, I bunked off school and then ran away
Well I just couldn’t stay, I dyed my hair green,
When I became a teen.
When I was forty four, it was a terrible year.
It was a terrible year, my wife had affairs,
With several of my friends; drove me clean round the bend.
She still wanted more,
When I was forty four.
And now my hair has gone, and all my teeth have fallen out.
And at the end of the day I sit and think what might have been,
If I had only seen; now it’s ended in tears,
After those terrible years.
