Gilbert O'sullivan - I Remember Once Lyrics
I remember once as a boy of nineMy sister eating glassThough she thought it strangeFor a glucose fruitShe enjoyed the taste it hadHaving lived with you over seven yearsIt's amazing looking backAt the time our parents were of the viewOutside marriage it would never lastNow my parents they wereDivorced last yearAnd yours are separating soonIf they'd spent less time picking holes in usMaybe they might not have been doomedI remember once, as a child at schoolMy teacher calling meAnd it, wasn't `raymond, step forward please`It was `o'sullivan, come here'Now at school they teach you to be politeBut as far as i am concernedIf the ones who teach youDon't know themselvesHow on earth are we supposed to learnYou might remember, just a few years backMan's first footprints on the moonWho'd have thought that afterSuch a giant stepIt would mean so little so soonMean so little so soonIf you go outside for a breath or airAnd you start by breathing inWhen you feel it's done you a power of goodIt could have done more damage than you'd thinkFor the air we breath may be all that's oursBut you mustn't be fooled by spaceAt the rate we're going we'll all be deadBreathing in our very own wasteIts amazing really, let me explainBut the thought of ending up dustIs a clear reminder to those who feelThey're superior to us...superior to us
