My Good Old Days

歌詞

Wagon wheels and Tonka trucks Ice cream soda, 7 Up Preston lost the FA Cup The goals were on the news Cheesecloth shirts, jangly things Eurovision Song Contest wins All kinds of everything And lonely Major Tom Dr Who met Desperate Dan 400cc red Dyan What on earth's a non-stick pan? Easter weekend caravan Our only phone was in the hall Our supermarket still was small Rope sandals and Patchouli Trying to kiss a girl called Julie Dave, Dee, Dozy, peek-a-boo Baggy trousers, platform shoes A drink of water still was free Three kids, one small TV Levi jacket, Wrangler jeans and Procol Harum at King Cream Navy skirt below her knee My Progressive Rock LP's Were those my good old days? Am I getting to a point in my life When I can safely say? They don't write them like that anymore (Instrumental) Dusty Springfield, Green Shield stamps The kitchen wall was always damp Desk's with inkwells, writer's cramp Drinking beer at summer camp 'Bonanza', 'Ask The Family' The 'Victor', 'Beano' and the 'Dandy' Hornby trains and action men The Beatles number one again Benny Hill, the football fixtures Bangles, Spangles, black sports mixtures Muddy pictures, clumsy tackling Ilija, Juri, Atkin Wilson losing, Nixon lying Thatcher winning, Lennon dying Neil Armstrong, James Bond movies Hearing words like 'fab' and 'groovy' The three day week, Teddy's Tories Stars on Sunday, Jack De Nouri Reading my first Orwell story Bobby Moore in all his glory Hippy chicks in granddad vests And Sunday's still a day of rest How we loved 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' Supertramp and all the rest Were those my good old days? Am I getting to a point in my life When I can safely say? They don't write them like that anymore Were those my good old days? Am I getting to a point in my life When I can safely say? They don't write them like that anymore Nowadays I can't leave home Without I'm in reach on mobile phone Medication, reading glasses I'm the oldest at my evening classes City centre, late night screeching Hair extension, eyebrow bleaching Empty pews stopped preachers preaching Paperwork stopped teachers teaching Were those my good old days? Am I getting to a point in my life When I can safely say? They don't write them like that anymore Were those my good old days? Am I getting to a point in my life When I can safely say? They don't write them like that anymore
