chicken in a basket

racist jokes

      gogo dancers

      macho blokes

long haired musos

(robinson crusoes)

      smoking pot

      and drinking ouzos

flowered shirts

platform heels

      saturday nights

      jellied eels

watching the telly

with arthur and terry

      revving up the old cortina

      scrubbing it out

with toilet cleaner

sony this and sony that

      cassettes that jam

      in the laundromat

gigs in transits

yorkshire bound

      the oil light on

      that tapping sound

pissed and tired

money owed

      too many nights

      on the lonesome road

 

That was the seventies

as I recall

      there's more

      much more

but i'm tired now

it's long ago

      i've gotta go

      now that i've finished

my tale of woe.
