1975 Lyrics by Chris Difford

Cashmere If You Can

2011

I signed away my future
To earn myself a place
Upon neon posters
With stickers on my case
To be the one who I am
How could I survive?
Without putting pen to paper
In nineteen seventy-five
I hid between the shadows
That fell around my soul
I drank myself in circles
And dug myself a hole
So I could bury feelings
While I was getting high
Enjoying the darkest moments
Of nineteen seventy-nine
I know how hard it hit me
And how it changed my life
I threw away a family
A fortune and a wife
My confidencе was lacking
I thought I had a clue
I threw up on the journеy
In nineteen eighty-two
I’ve never had foundations
No place to plant my roots
I’m in and out of rehabs
And in the empty rooms
I fell down on the doorstep
I was still out of my mind
We partied like it was over
In nineteen ninety-nine
It sounds like I’m complaining
But I’m happy to be here
It’s been a pleasant journey
That seems to disappear
With every day that passes
I'm looking back in time
And I’ve never been so happy
As in nineteen seventy-five
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
(Nineteen seventy-five)
