[verse 1: sister margie]
Years ago i wished time would fly by, but now i just wish it would slow
Never thought i’d be here now, but how was i to know?
Years ago i’d look to the future, and wonder, how i’d grow
Now i look back, thinking, maybe i should bring back the show
[chorus: sister margie]
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still feels like it was yesterday
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still felt like it was yesterday
[verse 2: sister margie]
I used to pray for a life like this, in the nunnery late at night
I used to want to throw it away, but i kept at it with all my might
I used to feel on top of the world, like i was looking out from height
I think about the fire inside me, and it getting ready to ignite
[chorus: sister margie]
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still feels like it was yesterday
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still felt like it was yesterday
[verse 3: sister margie & 2016 sister margie]
Wish i could talk to my past self, but she wouldn’t recognise me now
Wish i could speak to the me back then and ask her if i’d made her proud
Well you know that i’m proud of you margie, and all the things, that you’ve done
Think of all the hardships that you’ve been through, and what you’ve overcome
You’re pressing vinyls now, better camera now
Not using loops, i could never know how
And you still stuck with it, no you never quit
Apart from the show, but even i’m over it
You went to barcelona, addict of pepsi cola
Your star shines brighter than a supernova
And it’s us forever, we survived together
I’m always in your heart, when you’re under the weather
[chorus: sister margie & 2016 sister margie]
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still feels like it was yesterday
But that was years ago, years ago
But it still felt like it was yesterday
[verse 4: sister margie & 2016 sister margie]
How much longer can i be the zeitgeist?
Will this always feel like a highlight?
I know this life i lead is finite
I should have seen this coming, in hindsight
How much longer can i be the best?
How much longer do you think we have left?
Do you think we should put this to rest?
Do you think we still control the west?
It’s something i could never comprehend
You’ve always got me as a friend
But were we just playing pretend?
I guess this is how the story ends
