|
Looking back down over all these years |
|
Well it seems like yesterday |
|
We didn't have much, we didn't need much |
|
And we did things our own way |
|
Teacher tried, soon had to realize |
|
We were exceptions to the rule |
|
And we learned more down on London's streets |
|
Than we ever learned in school |
|
[Chorus] |
|
And we were strong, and only the strong survive |
|
And we were strong, and only the strong survive |
|
Remember when we were young |
|
Times were hard and we played it tough |
|
And we got caught between the fire and flame |
|
It was so many years ago and nothin' lasts forever |
|
Another lesson learned |
|
On oh, only the strong survive |
|
Only the strong survive |
|
I can still recall all those smokey halls |
|
Where we spent so many nights |
|
It was a hard life, but we didn't care |
|
'Cos what we faced we faced it together |
|
No masquerade we were renegades |
|
There can be no regrets |
|
This town has changed, those days are lost |
|
Still we never will forget |
|
Remember when we were young |
|
Times were hard and we played it tough |
|
And we got caught between the fire and flame |
|
It was so many years ago and nothin' lasts forever |
|
Another lesson learned |
|
On oh, only the strong survive |
|
Only the strong survive |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Solo] |
|
Remember when we were young |
|
Times were hard and we played it tough |
|
And we got caught between the fire and flame |
|
It was so many years ago and nothin' lasts forever |
|
Another lesson learned |
|
On oh, only the strong survive |
|
Only the strong survive |
|
[Chorus] |
