My Brother My Friend

Remember the day that I tied my shoe lace, You said "Mum I done it", lied straight to her face. Remember the res where I nearly went down, You jumped in, clothes on, your face such a frown. Remember the rabbit we pulled out of it's hole, you knew from that moment, that was your goal. Remember the boy who pulled my blond hair, You growled and you hissed, wow you gave him a scare. Remember the disco, the rocks and the punks, And when the nights done we were fighting in chunks. Remember my marriage, you disliked him so, "What are you doing?, that man has to go." Remember the shop, we would laugh at the folk, You'd read your paper, I would just talk. Remember, remember the life that we shared, I'm now on my own, I'm a little bit scared.
