More ageing lyrics for old bastards

[The Large One]

It's automatic when I talk with old friends
The conversation turns to girls we knew
When their hair was soft and long
And the beach was the place to go

UK No.1 in 1968

Qui est'ce-que?

 

[simonsimon]

Beach boys?

 

[The Large One]

Beach boys?

Go on, which song?

 

[Biscuit]

Do It Again. Tunage.

[Safeway]

Isn't Google great.

Do It Again. Good work. The second of their two UK No.1 singles.

Your go. Nothing after 1980.

 

[Biscuit]

Yeah, you and me
We live this life
From when we get up
Till we go sleep at night
You and me were free
We do as we please, yeah
From morning,

 

[The Large One]

Got it...

I'll give someone else a chance.

 

[Biscuit]

PM me it then! Im off to eat in a sec and can't contain my EXCITMENT.

 

[London Calling]

Always thought the following song with introductory lyrics summed up the late 1970's

When johnny comes
Marching home again
Hes coming by bus or underground
A womans eye will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
An it was just around the corner in the xxxxxxx xxxxx xxx

One of my kids has the original nursery rhyme lsong/yrics to this melody and finds it amusing how my air guitar and pogoing always starts up after the first verse!

If I'm not very much mistaken, isn't that the name of a New Zealand Folk song by Peter Cape?

 

[Hiney]

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Nope. Big hit in 1979.
