Lyrics It Was Once My Life - Live at Montreux - Van Morrison
There
were
people
on
the
sidewalks
(sidewalks)
Strolling
down
the
avenues
(avenues)
We
were
sitting
outside
in
cafes
(in
cafes)
We
were
looking
for
the
muse
(for
the
muse)
Well
I
was
locked
in
by
the
system
Where
no
freedom
is
the
rule
Now
I
spend
all
my
time
(all
my
time)
Tryna
make
it
understood
(understood)
It
once
was
my
life
(was
my
life)
That's
what
everybody
said
(everybody
said)
Things
we
used
to
do
(used
to
do)
And
the
people
that
were
friends
(that
were
friends)
I've
got
to
make
it
mean
something
At
the
end
of
the
day
It
once
was
my
life
(was
my
life)
I
can't
take
that
away
(that
away)
Trials
and
tribulations
(trials
and
tribulations)
And
stupidity
still
rules
(it
still
rules,
it
still
rules)
Some
days
it
seems
like
(some
days
you
know
it
seems
like)
I'm
on
a
ship
of
fools
It
once
was
my
life
(was
my
life)
When
my
message
was
just
the
street
(just
the
street)
Then
it
became
something
else
(something
else)
And
now
it's
incomplete
(incomplete)
I
just
got
to
get
back
to
when
Can
somebody
please
shed
some
light?
It
used
to
be
so
simple
(be
so
simple)
It
used
to
be
my
life
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
my
life
Used
to
be
my
uptight
Trials
and
tribulations
(trials
and
tribulations)
And
stupidity
still
rules
(it
still
rules,
it
still
rules)
Some
days
it
seems
like
(some
days
you
know
it
seems
like)
I'm
still
on
a
ship
of
fools
Well,
I'm
back
here
on
the
boards
(on
the
board)
I
can
hear
the
engines
roar
(engines
roar)
Everybody's
got
to
pay
(got
to
pay)
Some
people
have
to
pay
more
(pay
more)
You
can
tell
the
people
anything
Spoon-feed
them
anything
you
like
It
used
to
be
my
life
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
uptight
(be
uptight)
Now
everything's
so
complicated
(complicated)
Just
to
speak
or
use
the
phone
(use
the
phone)
Some
people
wanna
use
me
(want
to
use
me)
'Cause
they
don't
have
their
own
(have
their
own)
Don't
know
who's
round
the
corner,
Tryna
sell
me
some
more
tripe
It
used
to
be
so
simple
(be
so
simple)
It
used
to
be
my
life
(be
my
life)
Used
to
be
my
life,
baby
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
my
life
Used
to
be
my
life,
baby
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
my
life
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
my
life,
baby
It
used
to
be
my
life
Used
to
be
my
life,
baby
(be
my
life)
It
used
to
be
uptight
Drop,
drop,
drop
Thank
you
very
much,
thank
you
