That was me, in the scout camp, in the school play
Spade and bucket by the sea, that was me
That was me, playing conkers at the bus stop
On a blanket in the blue bells, that was me

The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in
That was me

Well, that was me, royal iris, on the river
Mercy beaten with the band, that was me
Yeah, that was me, sweating cobwebs under contract
In the cellar, on TV, that was me

The same me that stands here now
If fate agreed that all of this
To make a lifetime, who am I to disagree
That was me
Yeah, that was me

That was me, accapella at the altar
In the middle of the picture, that was me
That was me at the party, sweating cobwebs
In a cellar on TV, yeah, that was me

The same me that stands here now
And when I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in
That was me
That was me
Yeah, that was me
