When We Were Winning

Oh, when we were 17
 Our life was like a film
 When we were 17
 The sky was always tangerine
 We ran through streets at night
 Under starlight
 We roam the streets at night
 When we were winning
 Oh, wild was the world
 And wild we burned
 We were kings of the streets
 Not yet beaten by defeat
 But now it's hard to see
 Through a fog of memories
 But I remember
 When we were winning
 Now my friends are unemployed
 Not needed in this world
 Pushed down by this town
 And always turned down
 But in dreams at night
 They can sometimes recall
 When we were heroes
 When we were winning
 What have we done to our lives?
 We could have been anything
 We gave it our love, for what?
 This is the time (ah ah ah)
 ♪
 Oh, it's in the air at night
 There is a wind coming in
 The day's dying
 Oh, it's so beautiful
 There's something happening somewhere
 I take the bus into town
 All I see is laughing
 And we are winning (ah ah ah)
 Soon, I grow older (ah ah)
 But God knows (ah ah)
 I haven't lived yet (ah ah)
 Before tonight's a memory (ah ah)
 Let's go out (ah ah)
 I am still young (ah ah)
 Ah ah ah ah ah
 Ah ah ah ah
