about

Written about a pub in Cheltenham where friends re-united in the post school years, until it closed forever and we drifted away

lyrics

Hey Friend

Hey friend, don’t I know you,
From those many years gone by,
You used to live off Keynsham Street,
Before the days could fly,
You don’t remember me, man?
Why, we shared our youth at school,
Together, we were cowboys,
And broke so many rules

Hey girl, don’t you know me?
Well I kissed you long ago,
We saw that epic movie,
In our first last picture show,
Your looks are light and faded,
And your life can tell you why,
I used to think you knew me,
Can you look me in the eye?

Praise them, praise them, praise those days men,
We were young and we were good,
And knew all the things we should.

We are spirits of the past, boys,
And the words of the old school song,
They stay gently in the mind boys,
We recall them all so wrong,
Can you put the names to faces,
For the good times which we had?
For now, we’ll keep our places,
And the memories will stay bad.

For the taste of life is bitter,
In the mouths of broken men,
But the love of life is special,
And the flavour comes again,
We used to drink together,
Till they pulled the shutters down,
Our voices, they are but nothing,
Now the sorrows have been drowned.

Praise them, praise them, praise those days men,
We were young and we were good,
And knew all the things we should.
