I used to wake in the afternoon

When the sunshine finally cut through the haze

I really don’t remember that much

I just know I wasted a thousand days

Born Again by The Christians, released in 1987, reaching 25 in the charts.

We need protection from this infection

Something to ease this cruel disease

A ray of hope and a new direction

I called to you and you rescued me

It didn’t occur to me (age 11) that it was anything other than a love song. Born Again by The Christians.

‘Cause when you’re around

I feel like I’m born again

I’m through going down

In you I’ve a better friend

Oooh, better friend

Got this feeling I’m born again
