When I was a boy I never felt The weight I'm feeling I had a crowd around me And that was that I'd get on the bus and go to the Ata every weekend And feel the ultraviolet show the fluff up on my collar Yeah They'd play Otis Redding Sam and Dave and Wilson Pickett Prince Buster The Skatelites and the Bees Would be buzzing their horns The boys would dance like robots The girls would walk a fashionable slink Now here I am like some old man Trying to recall the way the way it was Then suddenly that boy is me And I'm right back there once again Soultime I'm in soultime Oh yeah We never tried to change the world It didn't need changing We were the in crowd yeah And that was that Graduating from a Lambretta to a Triumph Herald car Was the only future in sight Oh and that was that One night there was a rumble and I got head bu*ted yeah But those boys could not take that girl away from me I took a handkerchief and wiped the blood way from my nose And got right back on the dance floor And that was that Now here we are one or two scars Trying to recall the way the way it was But now I know where I am coming from Oooh yeah I say Soultime I'm in soultime Soultime Soultime Oooh yeah soultime
