Fireworks

 

Verse 1

I lay on my back

Sky rockets fly overhead

I loved the fireworks

From when I was a kid

 

Ballistic missiles

Shoot across the sky

Leaving trails of fire

From either side

 

Chorus

Childhood fond memories

Destroyed in an instant

Wonderful old fun times

Suddenly not innocent

 

Verse 2

Fiery Roman Candles

They were my favourites

Flashes of colour

Firing haphazard

 

Banks of rockets

Launch an assault

Clumps of destruction

Heading abroad

 

Chorus

Childhood fond memories

Destroyed in an instant

Wonderful old fun times

Suddenly not innocent

 

Verse 3

Playing soldiers

In the sand

Little figures of plastic

Held in our hands

 

Millions of legs

Marching in unison

To clash in fields

Ensure eaches destruction

 

Chorus

Childhood fond memories

Destroyed in an instant

Wonderful old fun times

Suddenly not innocent

 

Verse 4

Those large firecrackers

That you light and run

Blowing up old tins

Was so much fun

 

Distant mushroom cloud

Firestorm approaching

My eyes turn black

Smell of flesh burning

 

Chorus

Childhood fond memories

Destroyed in an instant

Wonderful old fun times

Suddenly not innocent
