When It Began - The Replacements

Stop at a light that shine bright blue

And where you’ve been is still in view

You stop at nothing at your first chance

Now it’s nothing like when it began

When it began

When it began

When it began

Long ago, or yesterday

The queen sits quietly as the jester plays

She plays off with their heads and on with my pants

Oh and it was something, when it began

Oh when it began

When it began

When it began

Oh and nothing

Hey that’s something I understand

I dance, try to make you laugh

I play the fool, a king at your command

Oh yeah

Hey

I never had to bow to you when we began

Now I can play you a tune

At your command

Oooh and if you say nothing

Then that’s something I’ll understand

When it began

When we began

When it began

When it began
