I Loved You Lyrics

It was a plastic age with plastic tears
A total addiction to the wonder years
I'm a believer was where it's at
He's singing oh Lola lady lay lady lay
She's fixing a hole down on Blue Jay Way
American Pie on your Tupperware
He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tins
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
In tricky dicky's love machine
We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's highway 61
In California dreaming sun

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you

They were the living years of stainless steel
Praying for a time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at
So welcome all of you to the pleasure dome
Of taking the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone

Another day in paradise is nice
From Ronnie's recession's nice advice
[Coz UB40's ice is vice]

We suffer from the longest
and one of the most sustained
inflations in our national history.
So don't you let the sun go down on me
Coz I wanna break free from your MTV
To virtual reality

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, ... (repeated several times)

[Choir on the background:]
From the shadow of the past
I never dreamed that it would last
You gave me joy you gave me tears
And took away the wonder years
