The Golden Vision
( As requested by Dave Bradley.)
And we'd jump out of bed, get dressed
And bounce down stairs for our toasted bread
And rush to church for 9.o'clock mass
And when it finished we'd race to the field of grass
And dive about connecting with headers in every position
And pretend we were Alex Young, The Golden Vision
And we'd get full of mud when it rained
And once my shirt was bloodstained
And it wasn't our Pete's fault that I headed his dome
And when it was dark we'd wander home
And brag about the goals we scored
And imagine the sound of the Roker roar
And our Mum would scrub us in an old tin bath
And tell us jokes and make us laugh
And gives us butties of jam and bread
And we'd dunk 'em in our tea
And eat 'em in our beds
And fall asleep with Golden Vision still in our heads

takes me back. Tin bath when we got one when I got married was a luxury!, us kids we had to stand up in the tin bread bin 'cos it needed less hot water - so beat that lol.
