lyrics

Recounting the tale of the sixteen miles I cycled
In order to lay my hands on some dusty vinyl
A second hand record shop where you'd spend all day long
I left with a 12" but found my bicycle gone

In the olden days, things were much better
(Except they weren't really, were they?)
Given the choice of the "then" and the "now"
Deep down, we would all choose today
I loved you then and I love you now (you silly old fool)

A coffee in the cafe by the side of the road
As meeting places went, it was the only to go
If you wanted to recover from a night of gloom
You would go and have a fry-up in that greasy spoon

If you ever visit my hometown
Make sure your belongings are nailed down....
