Lyrics

I used to walk down our street
And blow a kiss to the fabulous girls I’d meet
Then make a date for later on that day behind the old Church Hall
Or I would even ask if I could phone them
From the red box just outside of my home
But my apologies to all concerned if I never called

Grab a steamed pie in Carpaninis’
Then later on we’d share a Coke in Bazinis’
As we listened to the devil’s music pumping from the jukebox on the wall
It was many many years ago
And a lot has changed but even so
I’m so glad I never ever got to look inside a crystal ball

Back in the Day we just played and played and played
Without a care or thought of the life that was yet to come
Back in the Day we didn’t realise our memories would fade
And that one day we’d be wishing we were all still Back in the Day

Best Faller up on The Target
Sandwiches with Auntie Margaret
Then a game of Kick the Can in the street called Lower Dare
Youth club, Boy’s club & footie games
Out till late down backstreet lanes
Those were the best times of my life cross my heart and swear

Tucked up under the sheets at night with Radio Luxembourg
The Nation’s favourite station where all the newest hits were heard

Back in the Day we just played and played and played
Without a care or thought of the life that was yet to come
Back in the Day we didn’t realise our memories would fade
And that one day we’d be wishing we were all still Back in the Day
Back in the Day we just played and played and played
Back in the Day we just played and played and played / fading
Saturday matinee, sweet cigarettes, Lassie, The Lone Ranger, Gambo’s, Brylcreem, Dandy & Beano, Mini skirt, hula hoop, Elvis, “this Rock & Roll is just a flash in the pan”, Twiggy,
(sorry can’t remember the words! Is it something about memories fading?)
