Flashback
A flashback memory
Stops me in my tracks
Feels like yesterday
But there’s no going back
Suns always shining
Somewhere in my mind
Thoughts like a whisper
Good one’s left behind
A Jitterbug Boogie
Humming in my ear
A Jurassic track
Oh’ what a year
Tank tops and Flares
Flapping on the dance floor
Candyfloss and root beer
Found me wanting so much more
Decades have past
Gone by in a flash
The doctor says he’s coming
But I gotta pay him cash
Ode’s to the greats
Playing over airwaves
Travel in a time machine
Spinning decks, c'mon Eileen.
For that brief moment
Feel like 17 again
Thank you for the music
You mad dogs and english men.
I carry on, walking on by
The music begins to fade
A smile glints behind my eyes
There’s no rain on my parade.
