I Remember Once |
I remember once as a boy of nine |
My sister eating glass |
Though she thought it strange |
For a glucose fruit |
She enjoyed the taste it had |
Having lived with you over seven years |
It’s amazing looking back |
At the time our parents were of the view |
Outside marriage it would never last |
Now my parents they were |
Divorced last year |
And yours are separating soon |
If they’d spent less time picking holes in us |
Maybe they might not have been doomed |
I remember once, as a child at school |
My teacher calling me |
And it, wasn’t 'Raymond, step forward please' |
It was 'O'Sullivan, come here' |
Now at school they teach you to be polite |
But as far as I am concerned |
If the ones who teach you |
Don’t know themselves |
How on earth are we supposed to learn |
You might remember, just a few years back |
Man’s first footprints on the moon |
Who’d have thought that after |
Such a giant step |
It would mean so little so soon |
Mean so little so soon |
If you go outside for a breath or air |
And you start by breathing in |
When you feel it’s done you a power of good |
It could have done more damage than you’d think |
For the air we breath may be all that’s ours |
But you mustn’t be fooled by space |
At the rate we’re going we’ll all be dead |
Breathing in our very own waste |
Its amazing really, let me explain |
But the thought of ending up dust |
Is a clear reminder to those who feel |
They’re superior to us… superior to us |
