Karaoké This Was Me Everybody's Talking About Jamie (film) (Richard E. Grant & Holly Johnson)

Let me tell you how it used to go

Freddie playing on the radio

The Iron Lady couldn't stop the show

We felt like we could fly

Poisoned banter and a barbed remark

Bette Davis doing Joan of Arc

Dirty glamour dancing in the dark on days that wouldn't die

When we felt like we could fly

It was real love

Look around and feel love

Tearing up the floor

Something we loved more

More than life

This was me

We were children in the night

Every star burned twice as bright

We were tough and we could fight

And we held the line

This was me

Every sorrow had a song

Every lost boy could belong

We were young and never wrong

And I was divine

This was me

This was me

Every Friday we'd emerge reborn

Keep on dancing 'till we saw the dawn

Making history and breaking laws

Oh God how good that feels

We were heroes in high heels

This was me

We were children in the night

Every star burned twice as bright

We were tough and we could fight

And we held the line

This was me

So adored and born again

She's a smoking ten for ten

I was beautiful back then

I was divine

Let me take you 'round the bars I knew

The stars I knew

The battle scars I knew

The cobbled alleyways

The ways I knew

The maze I knew

The waifs and strays I knew

The siren singing to the way back when

And wishing I could live it all again

But now I pass it onto you

We were dreamers

Only just begun

We were sinners playing in the sun

Kept on partying 'till ninety-one

Until that fateful day

We were peacocks in exotic herds

Wouldn't listen to the warning words

That's the problem with such pretty birds

They always fly away

Even Freddie couldn't stay

This was me

Were we foolish to believe that a painted face can't grieve

We were hopelessly naive

Just out of time

This was me

Every heart is made to break

Sometimes love's a big mistake

Every weekend was a wake but weren't we divine

This was me

This was me

This was me
