On our hand was a ring I remember when chips probably cost 50p But now to buy fish and chips its a rarity I remember how as kids we would spend time and play But nowadays they're locked away on the ps3 all day I remember on a Saturday we had to wash clothes by hand Something the kids of today don't understand I remember a time petrol was less than a pound But in 2012 I have to travel on the wheels on the bus that go round and round I can remember a time when we worked hard to support ourselves Nowadays though it seems we can help ourselves from shop shelves I remember a time when we cared for the old But now some of them cannot keep warm in the cold I remember a time when things were good I'm walking in footsteps where perhaps you should
