The Splendid Life

John Wesley Harding

[Verse 1]
I recall the moment it was gone
I was in the back and you were driving
At first, I thought it vital that we won
Then I was relieved to be surviving
I always knew that getting there was fun
I wish it wasn't ruined by arriving

[Chorus]
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
Oh, life in clover, it's all gone
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
What went wrong?

[Verse 2]
Your tracks they led me half way 'round the world
You left a trail of paperbacks behind you
You took some yarn, spun it through the maze
But only I was bothеred to come find you
No matter all thе bridges that you burned
You'll always have me here to remind you

[Chorus]
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
Oh, life in clover, it's all gone
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
What went wrong?

[Bridge]
Sometimes you'll kid yourself
Into believing that it didn't exist
But it did
Yes it did

[Verse 3]
The verdict's in, there'll be no appeal
Oh, check the papers, it's not April Fool’s Day
I heard the crash before I heard the squeal
Everywhere is turning into Safeway
And if you don’t believe that this is real
Just read the memo waiting in your in-tray

[Chorus]
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
Oh, life in clover, that's all gone
Oh, the splendid life, yes it's over
What went wrong?
