The year before I thought of leaving I can't remember what I did Us in bed in Maida Vale basements When you left Westend winters High heel clatters Morning dawning Nothing matters When we took a cab Back when cabs had somewhere to go And we'd meet the stars When stars were people you'd want to know We were new to fame Woaooh oh oh oh I'm so glad you came Some of us fell by the wayside Others had it and threw it away Some carried on pretending That it was not ending today Once admired Oh so tired Lose it all In the night time And we took a cab Back when cabs had somewhere to go And we'd meet the stars When stars were people you'd want to know We were new to fame I'm so glad I came It took me years to find my own song And for years I thought I'd just sing along But the words were wrong A tune that is true lives on and on It will still be here when I'm gone And we took a cab Back when cabs had somewhere to go And we'd meet the stars When stars were people you'd want to know We were new to fame Wo oho hoh I'm so glad we came And we'd take a cab Back when cabs had somewhere to go And we'd meet the stars When stars were people you'd want to know We were new to fame Wo oho hoh I'm so glad I came
