Lyrics Those Were the Days (Live) - Lady Sovereign
We
used
to
play
jump
the
line
Or
who
could
wrap
the
swing
Around
the
frame
the
most
times,
back
in
the
day
Riding
our
bikes
around
the
estate
And
playin′
basketball
in
the
cage,
those
were
the
days
I
remember
them
water
fights,
the
tap
outside
Used
to
race
to
it
on
our
bikes
Grinnin'
with
two
front
teeth
missin′,
those
days
were
all
right
Knock
down
ginger,
knock
knock
then
shift
Two
minutes
later
we
got
locked
in
the
lift
Laughin'
when
we
got
out
Got
into
silly
arguments
about
who
found
the
pound
on
the
ground
Bopped
to
the
shops
bought
about
ten
ice
pops
The
weather
was
hot
so
they
melted
in
our
pockets
Used
to
carry
my
belongings
in
them
McDonalds
bumbags
That
was
back
then
so
boy
don't
mock
it
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
could
never
regret
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
Used
to
race
down
the
hill
in
old
Safeway
trolleys
I
wasn′t
indoors
playing
with
Barbies
or
dollies
I
was
outside
jumpin′
off
walls
or
playin'
football
Or
getting
chased
by
the
local
pit
bull
The
odd
character
that
every
borough
had
Mad
Phillip,
Gingerbeard,
or
Mad
Max
The
faces
you
wouldn′t
wanna
see
when
you're
on
your
jacks
In
the
places
you
wouldn′t
be
in
if
you
stuck
to
your
packs
Stayed
out
'til
it
was
pitch
black
Sprayed
my
name
on
concrete
slabs
And
I
never
got
bitch-slapped
Seen
a
couple
of
mans
get
stabbed
Been
chased
by
the
mad
man
Gotta
get
back
so
I
can...
Catch
a
joke
with
my
next
door
neighbor
We
played
the
first
Mortal
Kombat
on
the
Sega
Playing
the
latest
jungle
tunes
we
had
on
cassette
Those
were
the
day
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
could
never
regret
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
Remember
Naf
Naf
jackets
and
spliffy
jeans
Adidas
campus,
them
things
were
in
It
wasn′t
about
the
king
of
the
bling
It
was
the
king
of
the
rim,
or
the
king
of
the
swing
Back
then,
well
I
kinda
had
less
But
less
was
much
better
'cause
it
saved
a
lot
of
stress
I
hung
out
in
Coffers
community
centre
Now
they've
knocked
it
down
and
replaced
it
with
an
Asda
My
parents′
way
of
tellin′
us
to
get
our
backs
in
Was
them
sounding
some
old
fucking
klaxon
We're
soldier
marched
back
up
to
Redcliffe
Walk
Chalkhill
Estate
don′t
exist
no
more
It's
just
talk
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
could
never
regret
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
I
will
never
forget
Yeah,
yeah
Yo,
those
were
the
days
