SOME PEOPLE WISH FOR RICHES
TO DRIVE IN FLASH CARS
MERCEDES OR PORCHE TO NAME BUT TWO
SOME PEOPLE WISH FOR EXPENSIVE THREADS
TO ADORN THEIR BACK
BY WEARING DESIGNER SUITS
SOME LIKE TO FLASH THEIR CASH
TO GO SHOPPING IN EXPENSIVE STORES
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO FORGET TO REMEMBER
ME I’D LIKE TO GO BACK TO 1971
REMEMBER HOW COOL IT IS WAS TO BE A CHILD BACK THEN
TO BE 5 YEARS OLD
DRESS IN YOUR SPIDERMAN COSTUME
YOU GOT FOR CHRISTMAS 1970
TO BE RIDING YOUR BICYCLE
WHILST YOU PEDDLE DOWN THE ROAD
OF POPPING BLACK TAR BUBBLES ON WARM SUNNY DAYS
MAKING BIRDS NEST OUT FRESHLY CUT GRASS
OH TO BE A CHILD A AGAIN IN 1971
