when we were young
what I mean by young is
a bit younger than the mirror suggests
we’d get out and play
in the stadiums of world cup heroes
in the fields of imaginary armies
on the tracks of glory
full pelt down the staircase
a bruise was but a badge of pride
when we were kids
we were unafraid of death
it was just a game over message
you could go again
I’ve never been to the moon or walked the stars
I’ve danced in nightclubs, drank in bars
feet firmly on the ground
whilst the earth is turning round
Can you read me?
I’m tripping on the fancy free
re-living all we used to be
and wondering when it all became reality..
