lyrics

I suppose, looking back, it's somewhat nostalgic really - just remembering... the things that we used to do.
Always inventing something.
Always building some kind of a Go-Kart.

The first I built from scratch, was a blue Bugatti.
I used to get my brother to push me to the Bakery in it.
Of course, there wasn't much traffic then. The lane was pretty quiet.

Sometimes wonder what the neighbours used to think.

I built a Tank... and stuck Martin in the Tank...
A box on wheels... and just pushed him through a wall and then down the field... until it turned over on its side and... annoyingly for me, he was pushing... and the nails were coming out... and breaking my Tank.

Used to make javelins out of garden canes with six inch nails in the end... See how far we could throw them towards each other.

And if it snowed - male a sled. Put smooth hosepipe under the runners and that would really help it go quarter of a mile down the field.
Of course, we had to avoid some of the holes, where the subsidence of mining had caved in, underneath the field... left a lot of holes.

Yeah, those were the days... just messing around... with your mates... old pram wheels and bits of wood.

Maybe, you call it nostalgia... who knows?

Simpler times.

about

Rich'd Gentle / Musical Sketchbook Wakefield, UK

Rich'd Gentle composes with physical instruments in preference to using computer DAWs.
