The Best Years of Our Lives Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov)

[Verse 1]
These are the best years of our lives — sweet and peaceful
The best years of our lives — enchanted and fey
Like the seeds we're sown
Like the seeds trampled —
After the gardener did what he's paid to do
Now it is finally time

[Verse 2]
These are the best years of our lives — it's all that matters
The best years of our lives — fragile and clean
Like a child, we're blessed
Like a child — spaced out
And may Lord have mercy on those, who invoke our displeasure
In these best years of our lives

[Bridge]
And I'm coming from a different world
And I really don't know how it's done here
And I would honestly ask you to help me, babe
To work with me, trust in me
And cover my ass — and then I'll look away

[Verse 3]
These are the best years of our lives —
And our captain's locked up
And his choir of angels waits for this city to fall
Before this sky, and them bells ringing
I say — I know how you feel, God, I know how you feel
If we knew our way out, we'd never be stuck here at all —
These are the best years of our lives
