The Life of Michael May
Champagne and limousines
Front page of a magazine
His heart was young and wild and free
On Sunset Boulevard all night with movie stars
He'd seen things you would not believe
Suits made in Saville Row
Penthouse in Tokyo
He wondered was it all a dream
Necklace made out of pearls
Waking up to random girls
He wondered how it came to be
He had the whole world waiting at his feet
Wanted that something money couldn't bring
Coz he never believed it - that what he had was what he needed
So one day he woke up and threw it all away
This is the life of Michael May
This is the life of Michael May
Gave up his flashing cars
Not seen in fancy bars
He left that life in Hollywood
Rode off into the sun
In the hope he'd find someone
And reach a place he never could
Now the past has been and gone
Finally knows what he really wants
And he won't look back
He had the whole world waiting at his feet
Wanted that something money couldn't bring
Coz he never believed it - that what he had was what he needed
So one day he woke up and threw it all away
This is the life of Michael May
This is the life of Michael May
Sun shining on a beach
Gold sand between his feet
The old him distant memory
He looks up with open eyes
To the smile of his loving wife
It is the best thing he's ever seen
He has the whole world waiting at his feet
He's got that something money couldn't bring
Coz he now believes it - that what he's got is what he needs
And he'll never, ever throw it all away
This is the life of Michael May
This is the life of Michael May
It's never too late to make a change
