Those were the days of Elaine [00:00:14]
That was the phrase that she used to describe to her son [00:00:17]
Of the fun she had had [00:00:22]
Long before he went away [00:00:28]
Long before days of the dole and the draze and the lull [00:00:31]
But the call never came [00:00:36]
To say oh oh oh [00:00:41]
Loitering lavender park [00:00:49]
Laying about in the day and the dark of a room [00:00:53]
While the noon passes by [00:00:57]
Always on verge of collapse [00:01:03]
Mother would quit and then suffer a lapse from the drink [00:01:07]
You would think she was dead [00:01:12]
What to say oh oh oh [00:01:17]
She say oh oh oh oh [00:01:24]
And the time that it takes will it go so slow [00:01:33]
She laid on the brakes and she dulled the glow [00:01:40]
Now doesn't it go so slow [00:01:45]
When you build it up to tear it down [00:01:49]
You're tearing it down [00:01:56]
You tear it down [00:01:59]
Those were the days [00:02:04]
Those were the days of Elaine [00:02:06]
The days of Elaine [00:02:10]
The days of Elaine [00:02:17]
A lover like Alain Delon [00:02:25]
She followed him blind from saloon to salon [00:02:29]
From the hills to the pills he would take [00:02:32]
Father had died in the mines [00:02:39]
Brother had shown no remorse for his crimes [00:02:43]
When they strung him up he got all hung up on the scaffolding [00:02:46]
But he say oh oh oh [00:02:53]
He say oh oh oh oh [00:03:00]
And the time that it takes well it goes so slow [00:03:09]
She laid on the brakes and she dulled the glow [00:03:16]
Now doesn't it go so slow [00:03:21]
When you build it up to tear it down [00:03:25]
You're tearing it down [00:03:31]
You tear it down [00:03:35]
Those were the days [00:03:39]
Those were the days of Elaine [00:03:41]
The days of Elaine [00:03:45]
The days of Elaine [00:03:53]
