Lyrics 1977 - The Gift

A short piece of my life.
77 was the year where everything starts (Stop!)
I lived on the top of the street
In a building full of green. Field? Was not that
Screen (Scream!)
To call my best friend, I lived on the other side,

TV off, computers on, bye bye
We found outside a club, where boys can be boys,
Like old times, no girls at all
All the time I was in school,
We change our friends, we change our clothes
We kiss the girls because we need to,
It's an ego of a normal boy

But why at that time,
It was strange not to look or act
Like a normal guy,
Songs were made to make me cry,
And we can meet The Smiths at any time of our lives,
'Cause songs will help you every time,
Just try to wake up one day, rewind,
We were only 17, and then
Did you wait for the lonely time
Just to say like a normal guy,
(HI) my bed it's empty,
You want to try?

We grow as normal nature
And we still believe that if we try
THE BAND can save your life
Can be such an easy thing,
Just think the kid you were before
Creep was like a bomb.
Share the songs with the friends,
He will know your thoughts,
He knows your songs,
He brings the light you wish,
It's the cure to yuor lonely time,
He's a Jesus in a genius way.

A lie, at that time it was just a way to put us by the same side,
We were more then 17
At that time a lie means a sacrifice,
Everybody knows why,
But we were only
Again out of time,
I know why we will say good bye,
Everybody knows why
And we were almost 21, and then,
Still you wait for a lonely time,
Just to say to a normal guy? Normal guy?
My bed is empty.
Why at that time
It was just a way to put us by the same side,
'Cause we were more then 17
And then, still you wait till the end,
To say like a normal guy. Goodbye
A lie, at that time it was just a way to put us by the same side,
'Cause we were blood of the same blood, and then,
Did you wait till the end,
To say like a normal guy
Goodbye

And why, why, why, why...

We're 27 years old.
