The Days of Punk Rock and Street Sounds
There was a day when punk rock was my thing
the rawness and energy of the music
really stirred up within ready to rebel
giving your all the focus that makes you kick
Then every Wednesday night on the local radio
'street sounds' was the name of the game
which played all that was the best of punk
the DJ encouraged writing about our lighted frame
Enjoying our music best on a live set
watching concerts was the real thing
at my local Apollo, I booked my seat
seeing and hearing made the arena ring
These days music was on tape
mail order got you a great deal
free t-shirt and postage were so great
plus the great music, what a steal!
These are great memories to remember
those days really made you rock
still can hear these punk sounds
so fresh and street-wise, so don't mock!
(Remembering life in the mid to late 70s and what made life tick musically, hard to believe that now I'm a classical fan but indeed life changes in its many circles.)
