Ginger Schnapp Sharon Mills Rogers

 

Those were the days 

full of fun, 

miniskirts 

and showing your bum

4-inch heels

and make-up to scare 

spending an hour 

just doing your hair 

listening to music 

as loud as can be 

getting home from work 

rushing out after T 

can't be late for the gig

Got to get to the front 

drink plenty of cider 

until I'd feel drunk 

falling into the taxi 

to make my way home

unaware of the noise 

struggling at the front door 

trying to make coffee 

to sober me up 

sick on the carpet 

and falling over the pups 

4:00 in the morning 

and full of despair 

having some trouble 

to get up the stair 

looking down at my watch 

at its broken face 

and here Mum yell 

Sharon, You’re a disgrace
 At 6:00 in the morning 

and feeling rough 

get ready for work 

and rush for my bus 

another day of being young 

living to the full 

and having fun
