The year before I thought of leaving
I can't remember what I did
Us in bed in Maida Vale basements
When you left
Westend winters
High heel clatters
Morning dawning
Nothing matters

When we took a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When stars were people you'd want to know
We were new to fame
Woaooh oh oh oh
I'm so glad you came

Some of us fell by the wayside
Others had it and threw it away
Some carried on pretending
That it was not ending today
Once admired
Oh so tired
Lose it all
In the night time

And we took a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When stars were people you'd want to know
We were new to fame
I'm so glad I came

It took me years to find my own song
And for years I thought I'd just sing along
But the words were wrong
A tune that is true lives on and on
It will still be here when I'm gone

And we took a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When stars were people you'd want to know
We were new to fame
Wo oho hoh
I'm so glad we came

And we'd take a cab
Back when cabs had somewhere to go
And we'd meet the stars
When stars were people you'd want to know
We were new to fame
Wo oho hoh
I'm so glad I came
