We listened to Bruno

We bought vinyl from Lazer and Circles
and clothes from C and A
our sports gear came from Sugs on Wellgate
we got drunk in the park on Skoll
we ate opal fruits and Marathon bars
and read Smash hits and Kerrang
we debated which Bananarama we fancied
we watched Tizwas and Pat Sharps fun house
rode BMX bikes around the estate
and made a den in a tree in the woods
and we sneaked into the school grounds on Saturday
to use the tennis courts
on Sunday we listened to Brono
the top 40 on radio one
but its all such a long time ago
its realy a life time away
and at 18 we went our seperate ways
we lost touch, we all grew appart
we got jobs, had families and bills to pay
we forgot our childhood ways
but for one night only
we get to relive the past
at our school reunion, a time to catch up
and the memories come flooding back
OK - weve all changed
put on weight, lost somw hair
but it realy does feel like old times
sadly we didnt all make it
so we toast the ones that sadly died
and we make a vow that we will keep in touch
time will tell if we do
because we can't recapture those halcyon days
when the summers lasted so long
we may be older and wiser
and have less time on our hands
and they say that nothing lasts forever
but true friendship doesnt die.
