The Proclaimers - The Recent Past Lyrics

The Proclaimers Lyrics

"The Recent Past"

Nothing ages like the recent past
Like three day old sea bream
80s pop stars who thought they would last
Now at Butlin's can be seen

Please keep it so
Please keep it so
Please keep it so
For me

Nothing ages like the recent past
Those the people decided
Should wield power just a few years ago
Now are wholly derided

And we make it so
We make it so
We make it so
Don't we?

Ding dong
Avon
Not calling
Shields falling
See-saw
Rubbed raw
From usage
By you
It's a game

Nothing ages like the recent past
With my goldfishes memory
I'll make sense of what just occurred
If you give me a century

Please keep it so
Please keep it so
Please keep it so
For me

Because we make it so
We make it so
We make it so
Don't we?
