Flowers for the Jubilee

And we're talking a lifetime ago now And I don't know why its on my mind On a miserable Friday night, twenty years removed I just know I need to put this right You were wronged, you were righteous And real as I ever knew A cast iron will and a lifetime on the outside And no-one walked it better than you This song's for you old friend, I hope you get the message As jester kings we three, we free found solace there Beyond comparison, we were vacuous and aimless And I wouldn't change a thing I wish I hadn't changed a thing And now we turn to "The Inspiration" In whose debt I'll forever be A true believer in this strange old mystic rite And its triumph over misery That part of our lives is gone now And I know that it'll never return Through it all, I hope you'll always remember We were unstoppable when we were young We were cousins who stood as brothers despite our best intentions In the place our fathers met, we three found solace there Beyond comparison, we were vacuous and aimless And I wouldn't change a thing I wish I hadn't changed a thing
