The Recent Past

Like three day old sea bream 80s pop stars who thought they would last Now at Butlin's can be seen Please keep it so Please keep it so Please keep it so For me Nothing ages like the recent past Those the people decided Should wield power just a few years ago Now are wholly derided And we make it so We make it so We make it so Don't we? Ding dong Avon Not calling Sales falling See-saw Rubbed raw From usage By you It's a game Nothing ages like the recent past With my goldfishes memory I'll make sense of what just occurred If you give me a century Please keep it so Please keep it so Please keep it so For me Because we make it so We make it so We make it so Don't we? --- The Recent Past - The Proclaimers
