  • Artiest: It Was A Very Good Year
    Song: Robbie Williams

  • When I was seventeen, it was a very good year.
    It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.
    We'd hide from the light on the village green when I was seventeen.
    When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year.
    It was a very good year for city
    girls who lived up the stairs
    With perfume hair that came undone
    when I was twenty-one.
    
    When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year.
    It was a very good year for blue-blooded
    girls of independent means.
    We'd ride in limousines. Their chauffeurs
    would drive when I was thirty-five.
    
    But now the days are short, I'm in the
    autumn of the year
    and now I think of my life as vintage
    wine from fine old kegs
    >From the brim to the dregs. It poured
    sweet and clear. It was a very good year
