You´ve come up in the world
And it´s all to your credit
You made something of your life
Like you always said you would
But whatever happened to the girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love

You´ve come up in the world
And it´s such a shame
You made a success of a dream
But it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all to frequent nights alone

I´ve come down in the world
And it´s all to your credit
You made something of my life
But you´ve thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new-found friends and all
Your theories on mankind and society
