And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
I値l stand with you my dear
I値l state my case, of which I知 certain
I知 living a life that full
I知 marking each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I知 doing it my way
Regrets, I致e had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I知 doing what I love to do
And I値l see it through without exception
No plans, no chartered course
But I know I知 missed on every highway
And more, much more than this
I知 doing it my way
There were times, which you will know
Where there was no other way to go
Each special lover, each stupid doubt
I fucked them up, and threw them out
I faced the wall and the world
And I知 doing it my way
I've laughed and been a snake
But still there are apples I wish to take
And now, the pain subsides
I thank the gods I didn稚 break
To think, my years are few
And may I say, too few to worry
Oh no, oh no not me
I知 doing it my way
I've been called a commie, and a feminist bitch
I know I値l grow old, and never be rich
What do I care my heart is whole
I値l sell my cunt but not my soul
Let me get dressed and give a twirl
The record shows, I fucked a girl
And I知 doing it my way

If Sid can do it I can do it
Sorry about the swearing,its not usual for me.But hey we all need a little change now and then.
Dedicated to pete
I'll stand with you my dear.Together we will take on the world.All you need is your guitar and all i need is my smokes.And heaven help any foolish forces trying to stop us.

Thank You for Your Entry ~
"I've laughed and been a snake
But still there are apples I wish to take" --> my favourite lines
the lyrical feel of this really made
me enjoy this so much more; I had
a flash of Queen singing with the
"Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention"
part - I always loved Freddies voice;
if this is ever recorded please let me
know I'd love to hear it
best of luck!
♥
Stay safe
~Manda
