this is actually one of the songs i want played at my funeral..
it's a fine example of marc almond writing, looking back at his youth, there are plenty of songs he does this.. but instead of admiring and phrasing his youth, this one takes a different turn and points out his mistakes, selfishness, the lost of friends, love taken for granted,.. he's older and wiser looking back at it and realizing his foolishness and the fact that those years of carelessness are gone...
It was actually written by the greatest singer/songwriter ever to walk the planet, Jacques Brel - I'm not sure who did the translation (Brel was Belgian and spoke no English).

Whoops, my bad - it was actually written by Charles Aznavour - who was French and DID speak English, so maybe he did his own translation.
