My Friend The Chocolate Cake – A Midlife's Tale lyrics

My neighbour does some funny things
He's got three kids and he's got six drinks to go
Before he sleeps tonight
Singing liberation songs out on the front veranda
My neighbour falls asleep out there
He wakes up the next morning with the sun
And it reminds him that its time, it's off to work we go
It's always one day starting way behind another

Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now (repeat)

Dreaming is a casual thing you do if you believe
And just by chance one day the lovely things will come true
But he's way past thinking that, it's now a day by day proposal
He's lost his magic, christ, he'd like to get it back now

Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now (repeat)

Once upon a time there were so many plans
Holidays and blossoms and some fine romance
But it's all behind him now, there's no game plan to be followed
He's lost his magic, christ, he'd like to get it back now

Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now (repeat four times)
