Always Remember

I was walking out the road when I heard the noise behind me

And I saw them standing there one two three

And I knew that I was shagged I did not think they could find me

And the hate was on their faces plain to see

Well it's great to see you lads

It's a long time since I robbed you

Did you miss the hundred pounds I took that day

And I reached inside my coat and I read them my prescription

and I laughed at how they turned and ran away

These are the things I will always remember

They have seen me through hatred and pain

They kept me warm in the dark of December

When the light has gone they still remain

It was long so long ago on a stormy night she left me

At the time it seemed so brutal and so tough

I saw her the other day with her husband and ten kids

And I thought she had turned out to be sorta rough

One fine day when I was young and I left home for the first time

And it felt as if my life had begun

My old father grabbed my hand I can still recall his words

He said be sure to never trust a hippy son

When the sun goes down I won't surrender to despair and moan

I will sustain it anytime of year June or September

When the light has gone they still remain.
