1969 Lyrics

Allotment garden in the heat of july

My Oh my, that time went by in a blink of an eye like her and I

As I drive by I wonder why children still scream in chlorine

When that day she left the time had stopped on that bricked pool lot

She stole the necklace, I'm in bed,

from the hospital night stand

Wasn't doing well, needle in my hand

She wore it from that day on until we reached tenth grade

Now no one else will ever make me feel like that

You in 1969

You and the heat of July of 1969

Take it back to, take it back to, take it back to, take it back to, take it, take it back to

You, to you and I

When we grew up, a generation got lost

we lived it up, we had it all

But to her too much was never enough

She felt alone at every party she owned when the second she left all the air was gone

Cause all she'd do is act and lie and at night she'd cry, no one understood why

And I hoped she'd never change, like back then, she was all the rage

A heart of gold, but it was cold as stone

With her the time would fly now I wonder why no one else had ever made me feel like

You in 1969

You and the heat of July of 1969

Take it back to, take it back to, take it back to, take it back to, take it, take it back to

You, to you and I

We were lying in that bed, millstone around my neck and your hand in my hand

I still despise this modern world a lot, plastic chain on my hand

You stole the necklace from my bed, now who does that?

Honestly, I still love you for that

Love you for that
