"Hey Old Friend" lyrics

Hey old friend
It's good to see your face again
How you been of lately?
Was it really 68?
Hey young man
That's how it was, baby way back when
The Ministry Man still
Tips his hat and says we were great - oh yeah

Yeah, I'll buy a camper van
And grow my hair really long
Yeah, we're gonna start a band
And write a Top Twenty song
Then George will drop on in to say
Let's try violins like Yesterday

Hey old friend
It's good to see your face again
It's been a such a long time
Was it really 79?
Hey young man
That's how it was, baby way back when
Well that's what they tell me
It must have been, a hell of a time - oh yeah

Yeah, we're so much smarter now
We'd never make those same mistakes
Yeah, it's time to take a bow
And wallow in our lucky break
And finally over the feud of the blood
But PG's singing 'Here Comes the Flood'
Here comes the flood

A flood of memories
That were surely lost at sea
Are washing over
Everything that's been and is to come
Do I dare to light this fuse
Do we even get to choose
Like the rabbit from the bowler hat
Who just refuses to go back

Hey old friend
It's good to see your face again
It's been a such a long time
Was it really 79?
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah
