Snap, Crackle And Pop - Squeeze

In a duffle coat

By the garden fence

In a picture with his mum

He shields the bright sun

From his tired face

He winds the film on

With his finger

To the last one on the roll

There’s a moment

When he sees her

Standing by the washing line

God willing I will love this day

I’ve been giving my past away

Now I’m living with the best of me

And a picture of what used to be

Going for a bite

In the local café

Dreaming of the future

Unsure of what it held for me

Hopping off of school

To sit around and write

While my parents went to work

Didn’t fancy that

I was learning

While they didn’t notice me

God willing I will love this day

I’ve been giving my past away

Now I’m living with the best of me

And a picture of what used to be

The route master and the driver

Pass the news stand on the corner

Selling the Standard and the News

It’s a memory I won’t lose

In the morning

I would wake up

The guitar beside my bed

Untouched since I fell asleep

Spinning round and round

Every single sound

Getting to the core of me

Staying with me to this day

There’s nothing that I would change

God willing I will love this day

I’ve been giving my past away

Now I’m living with the best of me

And a picture of what used to be
