Back to Back - Tony Banks

Back to Back Lyrics

He's not the only one
To think that things are going wrong
And all around is only second bestTime was when all was fair
And we built solid castles in the air
He said that back to back in time's the way to goBetter in my day
I hear everybody say
But then they'll still be saying it tomorrowIt's so hard to take it
When your time is over
Yes it's hard to take it
When you try to rememberBetter in my day
In my way
Can't you seeBetter in my way
Here today
Don't you seeI remember well he said
When great men led the way instead
Of manicure and media-hugging styleBut I don't know what to do
From now on we'll always lose
He said that back to back in time's the way to goBetter in my day

I hear everybody say
But then they'll still be saying it tomorrowIt's so hard to take it
When your time is over
Yes it's hard to take it
When you try to rememberBetter in my day
In my way
Can't you seeBetter in my way
Here today
Don't you seeHe's not the only one
To think that things are going wrong
And all around is only second bestBut I don't know what to do
From now on we'll always lose
He said that back to back in time's the way to goThe only way to go
Try to rememberOh, better in my day
Better in my way
