lyrics

Memory Patrick Godfrey Copyright Apparition Music Inc. 2012 SOCAN

Verse 1:

If you want to know the truth,
Ask Billy and Ruth,
About Glencairn Avenue.
That was Mark and me,
Hiding up on the roof,
Dropping water bombs on you.
It was my friend Andy
Who would ride in the dryer,
At the laundromat with Stewey The Wart.
And Runaway Randy set the fire,
That burned down the fence and the fort.

Chorus:

Memory, memory,
What will become of you and me?
I closed my eyes,
That world was gone,
But the memory lives on.

Verse 2:

Well, Anna and Izzy,
Jimmy and Sue,
Stubby at the smoke shop,
No book night for you.
We were learning how to rumble,
And shoot the boot,
Boosting sunglasses,
And juicy fruit.
We trusted to our legs,
The night that Orcky threw the eggs,
Through the traffic at the punks outside the pool hall.
We went running down the street,
On our crazy flying feet,
Through that Summer night,
Laughing out ahead of them all.

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Randy was a thief,
I fed him bread and beef,
That I swiped from the fridge at night.
But Mum blamed Valentino Mageton and
Wrapped a chain around the fridge,
And locked it up tight.
Old Lady Alexander,
Shingle Geezer,
Don't forget Old Lady Conn.
Rainy afternoons playing games of Beezer,
Swinging from the water pipes with nothing on.

Chorus:

Vers 4:

Well Paddy and Betty,
How do you do?
Daniel Pociernicki's got the opera blues.
Me? I'm walking to New Orleans with you,
Playing Bach and trying to make this
Harpsichord rock.

Chorus:
