Magnificent

from Heist On A Bike by Douglas Kay

/

lyrics

In my prime, In my prime, In my prime…Ooh.

The marks of my life are on my skin,
In so many ways time muscles in,
I know there were things I did,
Which I would not do again.

But in my day I was magnificent, And my girl she was a star,
They all said we were heaven sent, But no-one’s sent that far,
We’d ride around like dazzling queens, While everybody watched,
But the day comes when you pay up, And it always seems too much.

I stood above so many men,
Trying my best to take it in,
No doubt there were things I did,
Which I would find hard to defend,
To defend.

But in my day I was magnificent, And my boy he was a star,
They all said we were heaven sent, But no-one’s sent that far,
And we’d ride around like dazzling queens, While everybody watched,
But it goes before you know it and you’re told you’ve lost your touch.

In my prime, In my prime, In my prime…Ooh

Now we are here and days are short,
They can take back all that I bought,
And I’ll get myself up,
Get myself up one more time before I stop.

But in my day I was magnificent, And my boys well were stars,
And they all said we were heaven sent, We maybe came that far,
And we’d ride the world like dazzling queens, While everybody watched,
And although we had to pay up well, We got back oh so much.

In my prime, In my prime, In my prime, In my prime.
