So here’s to better days ahead
And an end to all your sorrows
Here’s to cheeful yesterdays
And confident tomorrows

When I first come to this town
I worked the pumps and bars
Sold whiskey to the working man
And to the suits and ties
And I know I walked the streets you walked
And lived in the same world
Of high rise flats abd city lights
And beer and drugs and girls

And there were those who criticised
And maybe some of it was true
Coz they never stumbled and they never fell
But you know that they never flew

I know you had your ploblems
But at least you tried to shine
there’s no point going twice as far
If it’s only half as high
And there were those who criticised
And maybe some of it was true
Coz they never stumbled and they never fell
But you know that they never flew
