lyrics

"We met and married a long time ago. We worked long hours when wages were low. No telly, no bath, for times were hard. Just a cold water tap and a walk in the yard.
"No holidays abroad, no carpets on floors, We'd coal on the fire and didn't lock doors. Our children arrived ( no Pill in those days). We brought them up without any state aid.
"They were safe going out to play in the park. And old folk could go for a walk in the dark. No Valium, drugs and no LSD. We cured most of our ill with a good cup of tea.
"No vandals, no muggings (not much to rob). We felt we were rich with a couple of bob. People seemed happier in those far off days. Kinder and caring in so many ways.
"Milkmen and paperboys would whistle and sing. A night at the pictures was quite a mad fling. We got our share of troubles and strife. But we had to face it - the Pattern of Life".
