I had a quarter million
O’ the most fabulous years
It took most of my life
For me to find the right gear
And now we ‘celerating
To a sudden halt
We got terminal velocity
And it’s all my fault

Oh, dearie me
It’s a crying shame
I’m guilt tripping
In the outside lane

I did what I could
I tried to slam on the brakes
Couldn’t find the strength
Didn’t have what it takes
I hear thunder
An avalanche wall
Apologise
It’s all my fault

Oh, what a shame
If only I’d known
I’m guilt tripping
On the last train home

They say two’s company
And eight billion’s a crowd
I’ll get it right next time
But it’s too late now
All those locusts
Faminе and war
You never slept at night
And it’s all my fault
