Those were the 70s

Those were the 70s when the two of us were growing kids

When the Bay City Rollers sang “Bye Bye baby”

and The Sweet rocked their Ballroom Blitz

Those are the memories and I remember them pretty well

A decade that began with the split of the Fab

And ended up on a Highway to Hell – a Highway to Hell

Those were the days when I had my first perception

Of music and rhyme – of space and time

Those were the days when I went off to school then

Met lots of fools then and realised pretty soon that their world ain´t mine

And I wonder how would I have got along

Without the music round me all the time

When I was in trouble I got a song

and everything turned out finally fine

Those were the times when I faced my first heartache

And my poor soul played loser´s role

Those were the times when I fought my first wars with

My parents and friends And my days often faced a bitter end

And I wonder how would I have got along

Without the music round me all the time

When I was in trouble I got a song

and everything turned out finally fine

Bridge
