29 Lyrics

A vivid memory triggered by a snap

Taken in the front garden, as Junior lifted Dad

My blue and white pullover, summer shorts and weather so fine

I recall some happy days at number 29

A secret passage that led to next door's shed

was filled with opportunities

Delights to fill a young boy's head

Summers from the age of ten

I'd travel by myself

Placed on the train

My uncle met me at the other end

A pat on the head would send me running with the boys

Non stop til lights out

And in the morning early rise

Dancing, scaring all your worldly cares

Romancing, daring, puppy love affairs

Spun bottles determine all teen futures

for this rival, beguiling undercover

Way down

Weighed down

Way on down

And as the years went by

The chance came to move on

Down Central Avenue where battles seldom won

Football and fishing, the order of the day

Music and girls for later

Oh how times have changed

Dancing, scaring all your worldly cares

Romancing, daring, puppy love affairs

Spun bottles determine all teen futures

for this rival, beguiling undercover

Oh how times have changed
