[Verse 1] The day I mugged an old lady, was the day that ruined my life I was in a big gang of skin'eads, they were very good friends of mine We were thick, thick as three planks of wood And we did it just because we could [Verse 2] The night I pissed on a mattress, was a moment of disbelief When I woke up cold in the morning, she didn't And I fell into bed like a stone I wet the bed oh but at least I got home [Chorus] Back in the day when I was young I thought that life was just for fun I thought I was invincible, but all that had to changе I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was Back in thе day [Verse 3] The day I punched you in Harrods, was a day that I won't forget I was removed by a man and a woman, I was totally out of my head And I'm sorry I acted that way, but all of it was Back in the day [Chorus] Back in the day when I was young I thought that life was just for fun I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was Back in the day [Verse 4] The day I threw up in a matchbox, was bizarre beyond any doubt I'd been on a bottle of Teachers, I was trying not to let it flow out I was drunk but with OCD What on earth was the matter with me? [Chorus] So here I am, I'm as soft as cream And I'm still living my improbable dream I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as [Chorus] Back in the day when I was young I thought that life was just for fun I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was Back in the day [Outro] (Back in the day) Back in the Day
