Years and years and years ago
The Summer of ’73
Actually there were no mobiles then
And no air-bags and no world wide web
We tried to disclose the secrets of cosine and tangent on our texas calculators
Mostly in vain
The OPEC had driven up the prices
But we hadn’t any car to cry about that
In Chile Allende bleeded out
And in Germany the Kingfisher became Bird Of The Year
Tricky Dick was busted by Bernstein and Woodward
Anyhow he didn’t release the tapes
And 10 years after the shots of Dallas
JFK was not yet forgotten
Pioneer 10 reached the Jupiter!
And we were fascinated by Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon
Monica Seles was born
And Picasso died
At the cinema we both watched Woody Allen
Looking forward to check our shoots next day
Okay, other couples already had debts, already had children
Had to mow the lawn sideward their garages
We just had ourselves
It was the way we were
The way we were young
.
