When I was born it was 66 The Beatles were trying to work it out. The sounds of silence crossed the ocean and These boots are made for walking, set the rebel scene as teenagers went to war. Elsewhere they said the sun ain't gonna shine anymore and wanted Somebody to help me. You don't have to say you love me and Pretty flamingos were all about. Then the war in Asia had the ballad of the green berets a **** storm clouded all their minds and paint it black made people think of those who didn't come back. Then stranger in the night and when a man loves a woman were sung to make us forget. You can't hurry love so reach out ill be there made the summer of love seem good again. The paper back writter took the last train to Clarksville on the poor side of town where the song on the radio just keeps me hangin on. But in the end December came and ended on a high. Good vibrations from the beach boys was merry xmas to all.
