All Our Favourite Songs - Kevin Johnson

I’ve been gone such a long time

Perhaps I left at the wrong time

All the things I remember to clearly remember

Don’t seem the same

All the people who are stopping by

Just to claim my long lost friendship

The people smiling from the open doors

Where I knocked before in vain

Yes I remember the first times

I used to think were the worst times

But at least it was easier then to accept all the things I could see

And now it seems as though a whole lot of people are changing their opinions of

me

Well let their parties roll on till the sun comes up

Till the moon comes tumbling round

I remember the ones who stuck by me

And the ones who pushed me down

So with a bottle or two of brandy

And some friends of mine along

I’ll be out the back of Jeanie’s

Singing all our favourite songs

Yes they all seem to know me now

They’re all trying to show me how

They’re willing to give me the kind of attention

That’s worthy of me

But I remember the long hard years

When there was nobody here I could turn to

And all the best Champagne in the world

Ain’t gonna dim my memory
