It was a long time ago but it still haunts me Well the good times are paying, but the bad times they come free It's been a good few years in the lonely lane, but still it lingers like a stain It was a long time ago but it still haunts me I've got a hole in my head and it just won't let me be But some days I'm happy, and other days I just weep Well if I told you what I'd done that day, I know you'd never talk to me again It was a long time ago but it still haunts me All the time I'm hanging round, I'm dodging all the danger I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger Now don't you worry yourself, cos your friend now lives in peace Even though you had to bury all the evidence in the sea They found his hair and his brains in an open bag, at the bottom where the wartime ship had sank It was a long time ago but it still haunts me All the time I'm hanging round, I'm dodging all the danger I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger Haunts me Haunts me Haunts me Haunts me Haunts me Haunts me Haunts me, yah yah yah yah yah
