"It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time (Demo)" lyrics
(originally by Mike Batt)
Don't ask me why I did it, it seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
It was three a.m. in the casino
I was feeling like the Gambler of the Year
So I blew a little money on the roulette wheel
And I taught myself to play Chemin de Fer
Don't ask me why I did it, it seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
As the dawn came round on Monte Carlo
I had lost the car and safe deposit key
The country house in Switzerland was mine no more
And the gendarme at the door said, "C'est la vie!"
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
It was three a.m. in the casino
I was feeling like the Gambler of the Year
So I blew a little money on the roulette wheel
And I taught myself to play Chemin de Fer
Don't ask me why I did it, it seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
As the dawn came round on Monte Carlo
I had lost the car and safe deposit key
The country house in Switzerland was mine no more
And the gendarme at the door said, "C'est la vie!"
Don't ask me why I did it, I must've been lonely, stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
