lyrics

no one makes them like they used to
those days are over
there's no one who still knows how
those days are gone forever
like a lack of plastics
they were the classics

these are golden days
older days
looked back fondly on
sepia toned
overgrown
with the days to come

and all the books and all the music
the films and all the plays
the classics are behind us nowadays

no one makes them like they used to
those days are over
there's no one who still knows how
those days are gone forever
like a lack of plastics
they were the classics

all the analogues
are lost in fogs
who knows where they've gone?
all that's known
will be shown
in zeros and ones

and it's onward ever onward
with no way to turn around
since Homer screamed out stop
put that pencil down

gone forever like a lack of plastics
we were the classics

the sun is growing and we double our speed again
it's growing closer and we double our speed again
the sun's exploding and we double our speed again
the time is closer and we double our speed again
the end's approaching and we double our speed again
the time is over and we double our speed

no one makes them like they used to
those days are over
there's no one who still knows how
those days are gone forever
like a lack of plastics
we were the classics

about

Robin Elliott image

Robin Elliott London, UK

Extraordinary songwriter and performer.

Funnier and more self-deprecating than this makes me sound.

Forthcoming album There is a Land is awash with novel narrative strategies and novelty Brexit tunes.
