The Summer of ’73 The Way We Were

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
