A nostalgic look back at growing up in the 70s and a reflection on the cycle of life between each generation. First release from OLDER's as yet untitled third album.
lyrics
Flip side baby '76
Grew up free and got our kicks
Riding choppers, three chord rockers
Long hot summers and, space hoppers
We had those records on rotate, long playing super stars
Echo down throughout the years the distant sound, of life on mars
But now our denim's faded like our dreams
Bleached to bland, digitised, and coming back in memes
Flip side baby '76
Grew up free and got our kicks
Riding choppers, three chord rockers
Long hot summers and, space hoppers
We knew their names, their faces, no-go places, neighbourhoods
The tea-time callings dragged us all in from our dens deep in the woods
But now those landscapes where we free-ranged in our youth
Choked with cars and high-rise flats and charging points and future-proofed
Flip side baby '76
Grew up free and got our kicks
Riding choppers, three chord rockers
Long hot summers and, space hoppers
Time keeps marching on leaving everything you loved
It it's wake, a wave of change, first a stream then a flood
Of tears you shed for younger days
Before the colours of your prime, turned the shade of autumn greys
Tomorrow's World was soaring slingshot into space
When a Viking far home landed in some far-flung place
We were bright eyed, bushey tailed, floating on a monorail
Captains of the Concorde laughing at the Holy Grail
Those summer days seemed to last for a lifetime
Space Hoppers to pill poppers
The kids have all left home
Gob stoppers to beta blockers
We're growing old alone
Playing games and calling round, climbing high and falling down
The kids have all left home
Making camps and building ramps, growing cramps and super champs
We're growing old alone
Space Hoppers to pill poppers
The kids have all left home
Gob stoppers to beta blockers
We're growing old alone
Catch you on the flip side baby

We produce music laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in
a deceptive layer of respectability. We champion the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind. Everything we write is inspired by first-hand experience through our ADHD lens. If we resonate with you then that's a connection that means everything to us....more
