I Remember When I Was Young
Composer(s): Matt Taylor
Performer(s): Matt Taylor; John Farnham



Well I remember when I was young 
The world had just begun and I was happy
I used to wonder about the earth 
And how it moved around the sun so snappy
Imagination going wild makes a very backward child, they told me
So back at school I'd sit around just waiting for the sound so I could go home

Sometimes I think about it 
It happens every day
I should think of the present 
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young 
How one and tripence got ya to the movies
To look tough we'd lite a smoke and very nearly choke
But we had a real good time
Growing older meant you get to fly a saber jet and fight a few wars
So I'd just sit there all day and let my mind decay something awful

Sometimes I think about it 
It happens every day
I should think of the present 
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young 
I had a secret love who never knew it
Well I'd do tricks upon my bike that never turned out right 
I always blew it
And the day we had to part I had a broken heart 
But couldn't let on
So I spent my holidays just thinking of the ways I must be going wrong

Sometimes I think about it 
It happens every day
I should think of the present 
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young the Beatles turned me on 
I really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam 
We'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the Blackmans blues 
They really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand and formed our first blues band 
It was a real good thing

Sometimes I think about it 
It happens every day
I should think of the present 
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young 
Well I remember when I was young 
I surely do
Well I remember when I was young 
Well I remember when I was young 
I surely do
