The Bedroom Philosopher - In My Day (Nan) lyrics

In my day we used to walk to school Five miles in the snow Cocaine was everywhere In my day we ate toast from a can From Japan In my day when it was cold father'd hop into bed with you And set fire to his beard In my day children were seen but not heard They'd died They were all ghosts But you still had to work In my day things were better than they are now Where am I? We made food out of flour and water It really put a damper on things We played a board game called hard times Where every square said Go to war In my day we couldn't afford punctuation Mother I'm just going down to the river very well then Was a typical conversation In my day we kept sea horses and land whales I think they're called cows now In my day I rode a bicycle Hooked up to a generator Powering my life support In my day What's my name? What's my name? In my day we slept standing up And ate upside down You got tied to a bull and sent away Whoever untied you Well that's who you married In my day we used to listen to ourselves on the radio It wasn't even on We weren't well In my day there was a saying Where there's smoke There's salmon In my day for Christmas we got a memory stick It was just a stick and if you forgot something Father'd hit you with it In my day I knew where I lived What's my name? What's my name? What's my name? What's my name?
