Just how I missed it is a mystery to me

F#
Yeah, we made it, just by the skin of our teeth
Perfection is over, Sheffield is over, the fear is over, guilt is over
The Bergerac is over, the hangover is over, men are over, women are over
Cholesterol is over, tapers are over, breakdown is over, irony is over
