Lifetime Ago

I grew up in Croydon
That place was oh so slow
Main Street was concrete
No nostalgic memories

Blisters in summertime
Fog in the wintertime
I had a crush on the girl next door
She don't live there no more

It was a lifetime ago

We used to go fishing
At a pond nearby Croydon Park
And ride our bicycles round the suburbs until dark

Digging tunnels underground
Cause we don't wannabe found
I heard some guys from my primary school
Died on the needle fools

It was a lifetime ago

I think back to that golden age
A young boy wakes before day break
Watching cartoons on the telly
Without a worry

It was a lifetime ago

I don't go back there
Now that my nannas passed
I have my memories
Some are good and some are bad

It's strange how a place defines you
Or do you define that place?
All we have are memories
As we move on

It was a lifetime ago
