lyrics

I think about you now and then
I don’t suppose you keep in touch with anyone
You must remember me from way back when I
Crowned myself the king of cool
Making waves and breaking all the rules

We said we’d never make a plan
And after twenty years just listen to yourself
The very best days of your life have vanished
Disappeared into the air
Traded for domestic bliss somewhere

Checking for reality
Fading in my memory
I just about remember you
The crazy things we used to do

Got all the pictures on the wall
And often try remembering your names
Most of you I’ve never seen again

All things bright and beautiful
And all teachers great and small
Twenty-four in ‘68
Who did we appreciate? Not you

All the teenage loves and hates and
All the kids humiliated
All the weddings and divorces
Anniversaries and birthdays
All of those who never liked me
All the ones I fell in love with
Jennifer and Alison
Just tell me where you’ve gone
Yeah yeah yeah

You really played the part so well
I loved your workers revolutionary phase
And when your friends are reunited tell them
I went one way by myself
You went yours with everybody else

Walk ahead and don’t look back
I’ll see you by the railway track
And half past eight is when we’ll meet
Beneath the clock in Eastgate Street

Schooldays have gone so fast
Seemed just like an everlasting
Blue haze and then it’s gone
The memories live on and on and on
