1975 Songtext
von Chris Difford

I signed away my future to earn myself a place
Upon neon posters with stickers on my case
To be the one who I am how could I survive
Without putting pen to paper in 1975
I hid between the shadows that fell around my soul
I drunk myself in circles and dug myself a hole
So I could bury feelings while I was getting high
Enjoying the darkest moments of 1979


I know how hard it hit me and how it changed my life
I threw away a family, a fortune and a wife
My confidence was lacking I thought I had a clue
I threw up on the journey in 1982
I never had foundations nor a place to plant my roots
I was in and out of rehabs and in the empty rooms
I fell down on the doorstep I was still out of my mind
We parted like it was over in 1999

It sounds like I′m complaining but I'm happy to be here
It′s been a pleasant journey that seems to disappear
With everyday that passes I'm looking back in time
I've never been so happy as 1975
