Drowse Lyrics - A Day At The Races - Queen

Words and music by roger taylor 

It's the sad eyed goodbye 

yesterday's moments i remember 

it's the bleak street, week kneed partings i recall 

it's the mistier mists the hazier days 

the brighter sun and the easier lays 

there's all the more reason for laughing and crying 

when you're younger and life isn't to hard at all 

It's the fantastic drowse 

of the afternoon sundays 

that bored you to rages of tears 

the unending pleadings 

to waste all your good times 

in thoughts of your middle-aged years 

it's the vertical hold all the things that you're told 

for the everyday hero it all turns to zero 

and there's all the more reason 

for living or dying when you're young 

and your troubles are all very small 

Out here on the street we'd gather and meet 

and scuff up the sidewalk 

with endlessly restless feet 

half on the time we'd broaden our minds 

more in the pool hall 

than we did in the school hall 

with the down town chewing gum bums 

watching the night life the lights and the fun 

Never wanted to be the boy next door 

always thought i'd be something more 

but it ain't easy for a small town boy 

it ain't easy at all 

thinkin' it right and doin' it wrong 

it's easier from an arm chair 

waves of alternatives wash over my sleepiness 

have my eggs poached for breakfast i guess 

I think i'll be clint eastwood 

jimi hendrix he was good 

let's try william the conqueror 

now who else do i like?
