In Your Shoes

It really wouldn't happen in my day
None of this was going on,we had to make our own fun and games
I didn't fight two wars to be this way
I'm looking forward to my sixties again maybe this time round we'll make it past the grade
Past eighty eight
On past the grade
On to fun and games

When I was in your shoes
There was always something to do
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it
When I was in your shoes
There were so many rules
So much law, now they don't know they're born

This really wouldn't happen in Margate
None of this was on the prom you had to take your own fun and games
I haven't worked nine lives to live this way
I'm looking back to the sixties again maybe this time round we'll make it past eighty eight
Past eighty eight
On past the grade
On to fun and games

When I was in your shoes
There was always something to do
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it
When I was in your shoes
There were so many rules
So much law, now they don't know they're born

I ain't survived five hips to walk this way
This has all gone on too long,now you know it's not all fun and games

When I was in your shoes
There was always something to do
I was down a pit, up to my neck in it
When I was in your shoes
There were so many rules
So much law, now they don't know they're born
