Got a short term memory Thank God for that You've found your long lost enemy But now you won't look back Didn't know at eight o'clock You didn't know at nine One letter, this letter You say you know this time One day, you'll leave them all behind Some day, gonna strike them blind It's gonna burn your heart One hot day It's gonna strike them blind One hot day As the poet wrote the words We're the lucky sons One life, one life is all you get So take it while you're young Go and paint a Rembrandt Go and lay the queen Pay up, pay up, have your fun Realise your dreams One day, leave them all behind Some day, the sun will strike them blind It's gonna burn your heart One hot day It's gonna strike them blind One hot day It's gonna burn your heart One hot day It's gonna strike them blind One hot day It's gonna burn your heart One hot day It's gonna strike you blind One hot day It's gonna burn your heart One hot day It's gonna close your eyes One hot day Oh yeah
