Lady Sovereign - Those Were The Days Lyrics

Send "Those Were The Days" ringtone to your cell

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 bike around the estate and playin' basketball in the cage those were the days

I remember them water fights the tap outside

Used to race our bikes

Grinnin' with two front teeth missing we did what we liked

Those days I'm missin' those days were alright

Knock down ginger

Knock knock then shift

Two minute later we got locked in the lift

Laughin when we got out

Got into silly arguements 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.

[Chorus]

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

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' foot ball

Or getting chased by the local pitbull

The odd character that every borough had

Mad Phillip Gingerbeard or Mad Max

The face 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 till it was pitch black

Sprayed my name out 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 neightbour

We played the first Mortal Kombat on the Sega

Playing the lastest jungle tunes we had on cassette

Those were the days I will never forget

[Chorus]

Remember naf naf jackets and spliffy jeans

Adidas campus them things were in

It wasn't about the king of the bling

It was about the king of rim or the king of the swing

Back then well I kinda had less

But less was much better coz 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 claxon

We soldier marched back up to Redcliffe walk

Chalkhill Estate don't exist no more it's just talk.

[Chorus]
