I Remember When I Was Young

I Remember When I Was Young - John Farnham

Written by：Matt Taylor

Well I remember when I was young

The world had just begun and I was happy

I used to wonder about the earth

And how it moved around the sun so snappy

Imagination goin' wild makes a very backward child

So they told me

So back at school I'd sit around

Just waitin' for the sound so I could go home

Sometimes I think about it it happens every day

I should think of the present cause the present now

Well I remember when I was young how one

And thripence got ya to the movies

To look tough we'd lite a smoke

And very nearly choke but we had a real good time

Growin' older meant you get to fly a saber jet and fight a few wars

So I'd just sit there all day and let my mind decay something awful

Sometimes I think about it it happens every day

I should think of the present cause the present now

The present now baby

Well I remember when I was young

I had a secret love who never knew it

Yes I'd do tricks upon my bike

That never turned out right I allways blew it

And the day we had to part

I had a broken heart but couldn't let on

So I just spent my holidays just thinkin' of the ways I must be goin' wrong

Sometimes I think about it it happens every day

I should think of the present cause the present now

Well I remember when I was young

And the beatles turned me on I really blew my mind

And we'd carry jack and pam we'd go

And watch a band and have a real good time

Anf then I heard the blackmans blues

They really blew a fuse inside my head

So with some friends we made a stand

And formed our first blues band it was a real good thing

Sometimes I think about it it happens every single day

I should think of the present cause the present now

The present now baby

I remember when I was young

Oh baby

I surely do

Yes I do yes I do

Yes I do

Oh baby
