«Grey, very grey. |
Was grey, very grey |
Grey, very grey, during, you know, rationing time |
Everything was drab, and there wasn’t anything to be had |
During, you know, rationing time |
Grey, very grey |
Very little colour or availability |
It wasn’t hardship, we didn’t know anything else |
I can tell you exactly where it was |
Past the pier, towards the castle, near the top |
You could hear the steam hissing, as you went in |
The machine was all there |
And there were lots of soldiers still going about, you know |
Straight after the war was finished |
The machine was all there |
They didn’t have much to eat in this cafe |
But the coffee just made up for everything |
Great big wodge of foam on the top |
And sprinkles of chocolate |
It’s only looking back that it was dull |
Life wasn’t dull in any sort of way |
Life was lovely actually |
I mean we had great fun, as well as everything else, you know |
It was a hell of a winter |
Snow everywhere |
I could go there now |
It was all there |
During, you know, rationing time." |
