[The Incredible String Band - Way Back in the 1960s The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion lyrics]
I was a young man back in the 1960s
Yes, you made your own amusements then
For going to the pictures
Well, the travel was hard, and I mean
We still used the wheel
But you could sit down at your table
And eat a real food meal
But hey you young people
Well I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
There was one fellow singing in those days
And he was quite good, and I mean to say that
His name was Bob Dylan
And I used to do gigs too
Before I made my first million
That was way, way back before
Before wild World War Three
When England went missing
And we moved to Paraguayee
But hey you young people, I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away
I got some real food tins
For my 91st birthday
And your grandmother bought them
Way down in the new antique food store
And for beans and for bacon
I will open up my door
But hey you young people
Well I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I was a young man back in the 1960s
Yes, you made your own amusements then
For going to the pictures
Well, the travel was hard, and I mean
We still used the wheel
But you could sit down at your table
And eat a real food meal
But hey you young people
Well I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
There was one fellow singing in those days
And he was quite good, and I mean to say that
His name was Bob Dylan
And I used to do gigs too
Before I made my first million
That was way, way back before
Before wild World War Three
When England went missing
And we moved to Paraguayee
But hey you young people, I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away
I got some real food tins
For my 91st birthday
And your grandmother bought them
Way down in the new antique food store
And for beans and for bacon
I will open up my door
But hey you young people
Well I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I was a young man back in the 1960s
