At the time of their hit, "Everything's Alright", the band consisted of lead singer Stuart James, guitarist Nicky Crouch, keyboardist Terry O'Toole, bassist Keith Karlson and drummer John Konrad. Like many other British bands of the period the Mojos paid their dues by playing at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany.
The distinctive drumming on "Everything's Alright" was provided by Aynsley Dunbar.

The Mojos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why
No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why
No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why
No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby we'll be
(One Day)
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Think of all the stories that we could have told
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old

The Mojos's song "Reckoning Song" talks about the idea of growing old and looking back on one's life, and the regret that comes with it. The repetition of the line "One day baby we'll be old" emphasizes the passage of time and the inevitability of aging. The song is a reflection on missed opportunities and the things we might regret not doing when we look back on our lives.
The repeated lyrics "No more tears, my heart is dry, I don't laugh and I don't cry, I don't think about you all the time, but when I do, I wonder why" highlight the emotional detachment one might feel when they have tried to move on from something but still find themselves thinking about it. The regrets that come later in life are not always about what was done, but also about what could have been done differently.
Overall, "Reckoning Song" is a poignant reminder to live fully and seize every opportunity that presents itself in life, because one day we will look back and wonder what could have been.

One day baby, we'll be old
Someday, my love, we will age and mature
Oh baby, we'll be old
Our youth and vigor will diminish over time
And think of all the stories that we could have told
We will reflect on the memories and experiences we could have shared
No more tears, my heart is dry
I no longer feel emotional pain or sadness
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I am not expressing any extreme emotions
I don't think about you all the time
You are not constantly on my mind
But when I do, I wonder why
But when you do cross my mind, I question why we couldn't make it work
Oh baby, we'll be old
Again, acknowledging our future aging together
One Day
A chorus line that emphasizes the passing of time and how it will change us
Think of all the stories that we could have told
Reflecting on all of the missed opportunities and adventures we could have shared

Lyrics:
No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do I wonder why
You have to go out of my door
And leave just like you did before
I know I said that I was sure
But rich men can't imagine poor.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
Little me and little you
Kept doing all the things they do
They never really think it through
Like I can never think you're true
Here I go again the blame
The guilt, the pain, the hurt, the shame
The founding fathers of our plane
That's stuck in heavy clouds of rain.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
