The strange logic in your clumsiest line 
(It stayed, it stayed) it stayed emblazoned on my mind 
You say, break up the family 
And let's begin to live our lives 

I want to see all my friends tonight 
It wasn't youth, it wasn't life 
Born old, sadly wise 
Resigned (well, we were) 
To ending our lives 
I'm so glad to grow older 
To move away from those awful times 
I want to see all my friends tonight 

Yes, you found love, but you weren't 
At peace with your life 
Home late, full of hate 
Despise the ties that bind 
I'm so glad to grow older 
To move away from those younger years 
I'm in love for the first time 
And I don't feel bad 

Let me see all my old friends 
Let me put my arms around them 
Cause I really do love them 
Now does that sound mad? 
Captain of games, solid framed 
I stood on the touchline 
Hailstones, driven home 
In a car - no brakes? I don't mind 
I'm so glad to grow older 
To move away from those darker years 
Oh, I'm in love for the first time 
And I don't feel bad 
So wish me luck my friends 
Goodbye 
So wish me luck again 
Goodbye 
Wish me luck my friends 
Goodbye 
Mmm... wish me luck, my friends 
Goodbye 
Ahh... 
Ahh...
