about

Dedicated to Ruth Cracknell, Joyce Jacobs & Ethel Chop.
A no fuss shuffle of a track from Songs From The 86 Tram. It's a tribute to seniors everywhere; sometimes left out of the indie pantheon zeitgeist.

lyrics

In my day we used to walk to school
Five miles in the snow
Cocaine was everywhere
In my day we ate toast from a can
From Japan
In my day when it was cold
Father’d hop into bed with you
and set fire to his beard
In my day children were seen but not heard
They were ghosts
They’d all died
But you still had to work

In my day
Things were better than they are now
Where am I?

We made food out of flour and water
It really put a damper on things
We played a board game called Hard Times
Where every square said
Go To War
In my day we couldn’t afford punctuation
motherimjustgoingdowntotheriververywell
Was a typical conversation

In my day we kept sea horses
and land whales
I think they’re called “cows” now
In my day I rode a bicycle
That powered a generator
Hooked up to my life support!

In my day (what’s my name?)

In my day we slept standing up
and ate upside down
You got tied to a bull and sent away
Whoever untied you
Well that’s who you married

In my day we used to listen to the radio
It wasn’t even on
We weren’t well
In my day there was a saying
Where there’s smoke there’s salmon
In my day for Christmas I got a memory stick
It was just a stick and if you forgot something
Father’d hit you with it!

In my day
I knew where I lived
What’s my name?
