Remember, Remember
Remember the day
that I tied my shoe lace
you said "Mum I done it"
lied straight to her face
remember the reservoir
I nearly drown
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 Mum's shop
we would laugh at the folk
you'd read your paper
I would just talk
remember a pint
each and every day
we went to the oak
always made you pay
remember the last time
I saw you alive
was in Bilbo's cafe
you called it a dive
remember the fry up
your eggs were cooked wrong
that was on Wednesday
by Sunday you'd gone
remember, remember the life that we shared
I'm now on my own, I'm a little bit scared
