Jubilee
S.I.M Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

And we're talking a lifetime ago now
And I don't know why its on my mind
On a miserable Friday night, twenty years removed
I just know I need to put this right
You were wronged, you were righteous
And real as I ever knew
A cast iron will and a lifetime on the outside
And no-one walked it better than you

This song's for you old friend, I hope you get the message
As jester kings we three, we free found solace there
Beyond comparison, we were vacuous and aimless
And I wouldn't change a thing
I wish I hadn't changed a thing
And now we turn to "The Inspiration"
In whose debt I'll forever be
A true believer in this strange old mystic rite
And its triumph over misery
That part of our lives is gone now
And I know that it'll never return
Through it all, I hope you'll always remember
We were unstoppable when we were young
We were cousins who stood as brothers despite our best intentions
In the place our fathers met, we three found solace there
Beyond comparison, we were vacuous and aimless

And I wouldn't change a thing
I wish I hadn't changed a thing
