Beans On Toast - The Village Disco lyrics
[Beans On Toast - The Village Disco lyrics]
Someone's gotta be the first one
On the dance floor
That's what my mother told me when
I was just a kid
Ten years old at the village disco
She grabbed my hand and she pulled me in
In many ways I like to think I'm dancing
That very dance for you today
And I'm not saying it was easy, but
I had a lot of fun along the way
Buf if you're looking for advice on
How to smash the system
Or to sing a little song
With a walking contradiction
Well, I'm afraid to say today we
Reminisce about the good old days
Way back when I was younger and
Had no concept of time
Way back when I was that little
Kid who couldn't ride a bike
And we'd knock for each other
Go playing down the road
When the street lights coming on were
A signal to go home yeah then, way back when
They say the only thing you
Really learn from history
Is that history repeats it'self
But, if I had the chance to go back
To that village disco and talk
To my younger self
I'll probably just leave him dancing
What the hell am I supposed to say?
He needs to find out for himself
That life ain't always easy
And try to make some friends along the way
But, if he's looking for advice or
For some words of wisdom
Or a hand drawn map pointing
In the right direction
Well he's gonna have to wait
Today we reminsce about the good old days
Way back the the grass is greener or
At least that's how it seems
Way back when all my memories
Kind of feel like dreams
Would find this crispy pancakes any given day
The whole family were sit down
And watch home and away
Yeah then, way back when
Any minute now I will turn 40
That's quite a milestone, I suppose
I can still remember my
Old man's 40th birthday
It was held in that very same village hall
It was about that time he
Taught how to whistle
Me I'm still whistling that tune
And it serves to remind me
That life isn't always easy
So be sure to put your heart in all you do
On the dance floor
That's what my mother told me when
I was just a kid
Ten years old at the village disco
She grabbed my hand and she pulled me in
In many ways I like to think I'm dancing
That very dance for you today
And I'm not saying it was easy, but
I had a lot of fun along the way
Buf if you're looking for advice on
