Eastend Memories

Lyrics:

© bluvation
I REMEMBER SCRUMPING FOR APPLES
KNOCK DOWN GINGER AND OUTING RAFFLES
RIDING ON A COACH WITH NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY

TRAVELLING TO THE COAST IN SUMMER ON SUNDAY
EVERBODY HAD TO BE BACK AT WORK BY MONDAY
EXCEPT FOR US KIDS WHO GOT SIX WEEKS OFF TO PLAY

HOP SCOTCH AND HOT CROSS BUNS
EASTER EGGS AND AND METAL CAP GUNS
PRAM WHEEL TROLLEYS ON A LONG DOWNHILL RUN

AND I REMEMBER THOSE COTTON CURTAINS
BLOWING IN THE WINDOW OF MY OLD BEDROOM
LETTING IN THE SOUNDS OF THE MILKMAN ON HIS WAY

MOTHER SHOUTING "IT'S TIME TO GET UP NOW,
SHOW A LEG DON'T MAKE ME COME UP NOW"
RUNNING UP THE STAIRS EVERY MORNING AT THE BREAK OF DAY

BURNED TOAST AND WHEATABIX
WESTERN COMICS WITH TOM MIX
THE OLD CLOCK ON THE MANTLE'S CONSTANT TICK

LIFE WAS GOOD THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY
THE RADIO WAS ALWAYS FUNNY
LISTENING TO THE GOONS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY

DADDY GROWING PEAS AND TATERS
RHUBARB AND RIPE TOMATOES
TINY BLACK CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRYS, HIP HOORAY!

DUSTBINS AND WASHING LINES
CLOTHES HORSES AND RADIO TIMES
IRONING BOARDS AND THE OLD FRY'S CHOCOLATE SIGN

Repeat from Start...
