Those Were the Days (Live)
We used to play jump the line Or who could wrap the swing Around the frame the most times, back in the day Riding our bikes around the estate And playin' basketball in the cage, those were the days I remember them water fights, the tap outside Used to race to it on our bikes Grinnin' with two front teeth missin', those days were all right Knock down ginger, knock knock then shift Two minutes later we got locked in the lift Laughin' when we got out Got into silly arguments about who found the pound on the ground Bopped to the shops bought about ten ice pops The weather was hot so they melted in our pockets Used to carry my belongings in them McDonalds bumbags That was back then so boy don't mock it
Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I could never regret Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days
Used to race down the hill in old Safeway trolleys I wasn't indoors playing with Barbies or dollies I was outside jumpin' off walls or playin' football Or getting chased by the local pit bull The odd character that every borough had Mad Phillip, Gingerbeard, or Mad Max The faces you wouldn't wanna see when you're on your jacks In the places you wouldn't be in if you stuck to your packs Stayed out 'til it was pitch black Sprayed my name on concrete slabs And I never got bitch-slapped Seen a couple of mans get stabbed Been chased by the mad man Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Gotta get back so I can... Catch a joke with my next door neighbor We played the first Mortal Kombat on the Sega Playing the latest jungle tunes we had on cassette Those were the day I will never forget
Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I could never regret Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days
Remember Naf Naf jackets and spliffy jeans Adidas campus, them things were in It wasn't about the king of the bling It was the king of the rim, or the king of the swing Back then, well I kinda had less But less was much better 'cause it saved a lot of stress I hung out in Coffers community centre Now they've knocked it down and replaced it with an Asda My parents' way of tellin' us to get our backs in Was them sounding some old fucking klaxon We're soldier marched back up to Redcliffe Walk Chalkhill Estate don't exist no more It's just talk
Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I could never regret Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days I will never forget Yeah, yeah Yo, those were the days
