People Used To - Donovan

People used to get together round a fire

Fishes were cooked, songs were sung

Moonlight used to guide our way home in the dark

Do you find it hard remembering?

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with

But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with

People tell me that it’s so oh — oh I don’t know anymore, I don’t know

People used to get together round a problem

Eyes were looked at tongues were true

People used to stop and say how do you do Do you find it hard remembering?

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with

But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with

People tell me that it’s so oh — oh I don’t know anymore, I don’t know

People used to spend an hour making tea

Easy easy was the rule

People used to pause to think and contemplate

He who hurried was the fool

And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with

But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with

People tell me that it’s so oh — oh I don’t know anymore, I don’t know
