You never made it outta town
I guess it was too much to ask for
Big dreams they all fall down
The teenage thugs, all cops, and bouncers
Teddy boys at the central station
No brains, no imagination
Kick your head in if they get a chance
Lace your boots 'cause we didn't come to dance
So, say goodbye to the good ol' days
We've been through hell and back again
We left a mark, we carved our names
But these are better days
Remember when the times were tough
Remember when you'd had enough
You stand up for the ones you love
'Cause these are better days

You hit your peak so long ago
You're still obsessed with faded glory
Now bitterness and sadness shows
It could have been a different story
Bovver boys at the football matches
Harringtons with the racist patches
Kick your head in if they get a chance
Set 'em up 'cause we didn't come to dance
So, say goodbye to the good ol' days
We've been through hell and back again
We left a mark, we carved our names
But these are better days
Remember when the times were tough
Remember when you'd had enough
You stand up for the ones you love
'Cause these are better days

So, stop the clocks and freeze the frame
But I'm never going back again
The sunsets come and the seasons change
But I'm living for today, today
So, say goodbye to the good ol' days
We've been through hell and back again
We left a mark, we carved our names
But these are better days
Remember when the times were tough
Remember when you'd had enough
You stand up for the ones you love
