1973
James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin
Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang
"Here We Go Again"
And though time goes by
I will always be in a club with you in 1973
Singing "Here We Go Again"
Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone
Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang
"Here We Go Again"
And though time goes by
I will always be in a club with you in 1973
Singing "Here We Go Again"
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang
"Here We Go Again"
And though time goes by
I will always be in a club with you in 1973
Singing "Here We Go Again"
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang
"Here We Go Again"
And though time goes by
I will always be in a club with you in 1973
Singing "Here We Go Again"
And though time goes by
I will always be in a club with you in 1973

@@shashasha1249 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines…..

Simona, you're getting older
Your journey's been etched on your skin
Simona, wish I had known that
What seemed so strong has been and gone
I would call you up at a Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
Simona, wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now the rain has gone
Simona, I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune, the same old song
I would call you every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"

In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
