Some checked in to find things weren't as grim,
I looked under the carpet to see if it flew,
but they let me down in the same way as you.

Ancient history, fossils andΒ Dynasty on the TV
must have been eighty three just
look at those shoulder pads.

people were different then
or they were to me
poetry was taboo
you
kind of knew me
but
you weren't too fussed
I was
a bit strange even for your tastes
I must admit it bothered me
but that's ancient history.

And now we're on the verge of it
new dynamics see.
rewrite history
make our story,
she
ignores me,
time will tell.


The carpet
not being shy
did fly,
funny thing that,
I never saw any wings
or things to give it lift

it flew and she who kind
of knew me knew it would.
my mind gets fogged like Victorian glass
