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
Poison batter and a Barbara mark
Betty 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
Twice as bright
We were tough and we could fight
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
This was me
Every Friday we'd emerge, we born
Keep on dancing till we saw the dawn
Making history and breaking laws
Oh God, how good that feels
We were heroes in our heels
This was me
We were children in the night
Every star burned twice
This was me We were children in the night Every star burned twice
Keep on dancing till we saw the dawn
Making history and breaking laws
And I was divine
We were mothers bright


I knew, the cobbled alleyways, the ways I knew, the maze I knew, the waves, some strays I knew,
the sirens singing to the way back when, the wishing I could live it all again, now I pass it on to 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 Freddy 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 awake.
For we're divided.
Were we divided.
Hey.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
This was me
This was me
This was me
This was me
This was me
