My Brilliant Past Songtext
von Clive Gregson

When I look back at some of the things that I′ve done,
The battles I've fought, the races I′ve run,
I can't help but think that my best is all gone,
I am blessed with a brilliant past...

I was barely a boy when the rot first set in,
I was desperate to find an original sin,
But I tried all the old ones so I could begin
To build up my brilliant past...

But that's all behind me now, what lies ahead?
How far from tomorrow to the day I drop dead?
What sign should I follow, what path should I tread?
To escape from my brilliant past...


Well I grew up believing I could do no wrong,
It was hard to be humble, it hurt to be strong,
So I played the fool, yes I wrote that song,
It′s part of my brilliant past...

And I once knew a woman who loved me so well,
Maybe I loved her too, it was so hard to tell,
And I never stopped talking, now you′d be amazed,
At the depth of my brilliant past...

But that's all behind me now, what lies ahead?
How far from tomorrow to the day I drop dead?
What sign should I follow, what path should I tread?
To escape from my brilliant past...

When I look back at some of the things that I′ve done...
