lyrics

The hours and days
they have their way
so surreptitiously
Time is a river
that will one day deliver
the likes of you and me
We're running out of future
but to hell with that regret
So raise a glass and drink a toast
to the things you'd sooner forget

Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned

Socrates
if you please
it's wisdom that I crave
I've been wandering this life aimlessly
but still headed for the grave
Before I take another step
towards that muddy hole
I want to raise a glass
and drink a toast
to the things I can't control

Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned
Here's to all
the messes I have made
Here's to all
the things I am today

Here's to life
and here's to the end
Here's to what is now
and here's to what was then
And here's...
to you...
my friend

I've made some mistakes
or have they made me
I'd make them again
only more quickly

Here's to all
the bridges I have burned
Here's to all
the lessons gone unlearned
Here's to all
the the messes I have made
Here's to all
the things I am today

Here's to the shy
the sad and the gay
to those who had everything
and pissed it away
Here's to the weak
the meek and the poor
To those who question
what they're living for

about

Eddie Japan Boston

".. a contagious attitude of doing it up, and doing it up right that you can hear in the carnival swirls of ultra-melodic pop, latin-flavored bravado and cinematic ‘70s UK rock."
