All Those Years Ago

We sang the song of days gone by

We didn't even have to try

Our voices pure and clear and high

All those years ago.

When rockets flew up to the moon

The world turned to a different tune

The Beatles played in teenage rooms

All those years ago

With power cuts and the three-day week

The striking workers hit the streets

Lacking money for family treats

All those years ago

In DM boots and spiked up hair

Pretty vacant, lacking in care

Our lives we thought, would go nowhere

All those years ago

Then Yuppies yapped and posers posed

Pubs and nightclubs barely closed

Princess Di, our English Rose

All those years ago

We raved, we danced to a pulsing beat

On floors, in bedrooms, on the street

Out of our heads, hands, and feet

All those years ago

Then suddenly we all grew old

Time had passed, or so we're told

The empty streets are getting cold

All those years ago

We sing the song of years gone by

It’s getting hard, but still, we try 

With cracking coughs, we rasp so high 

singing , All those years ago.
