lyrics

Day Star

We didn’t have shoes like that in my day, we had something else
Folk that formed and faded like a continental shelf
Boy I don’t like how you look at me
No, I’m no-one’s springing chicken, but I’m ranging free

On a day star / I forget / All roads connect
I forgot how / You can ride / To the other side

I wouldn’t take a bus to school except for novelty and fun
When you get to my age you just write letters scorning the school run
Girl you may have changed a lot somehow
Well you never talked to me back then, so please don’t do it now

On a day star / I forget / All roads connect
I forgot how / You can ride / To the other side

They dropped the kids in the corner pocket, ready for the rack
I wouldn’t swap my life with you boys, I would not go back
I would not go back
No, you can’t go back

On a day star
From a day star
Not your own car
But you’ll go far

Must try harder
