Passed You By — текст песни (Mike Oldfield)

And whatever happened to the girl we used to know?

Oh, the one with the mousy hair.

All fumbling for love in the back of the car

But you never quite found it there.





And the randy old barmaid, shes gone in after you

To the man with the satin bow tie,

Who looks down his nose as he serves out the booze

And hed rather you passed him by.





Passed him by.

And hed rather you passed him by.





And whatever happened to the deals we used to make

Watch your hands, theres a copper about!

Ah, the pubs not the same since they changed the name

And the bankers look shiny and smart.





And theres no friends left, theyve all married and gone

And they live on the edge of the town.

All part of the team in the country club scene

And theyd rather you passed them by.





Passed them by.

And theyd rather you passed them by.





So youve fled to the city for to find a new scene,

With the posers and the girls with fast cars

And the rock-and-roll boys with their electrified toys

And the managers pass cigars.





And your out on your own and youve found a new bone.

Going back was crazy, I did.

When your making your name, things well never stay the same,

And its better you passed them by.





Passed them by.

And its better you passed them by.





Passed them by.

And its better you passed them by.





And whatever happened to the girl we used to know?

Oh, the one with the mousy hair.

All fumbling for love on the park bench out tonight,

But you never quite found it there.





And the randy old barmaid, shes gone in after you

To the man with the satin bow tie,

Who looks down his nose as he serves out the booze

And hed rather you passed him by.





Passed him by.

And hed rather you passed him by.





Passed him by.

And hed rather you passed him by.
