Earth, wind and fire
A time when great people were born
Alas King Elvis legacy unexpectedly scorn..
The new seekers brought us to life
And Jason King figured out many a conundrum to bring to justice.
A time where flared trousers were fashionable
And afros hit a new beautiful height
And glam rock delivered a shining light.
Connors and Borg were the princes of the tennis court
And pans people danced to a merry tune,
“Showing your age!”
I shall hear
Yet I am proud to be born at a time where things were taken less seriously
Rather than not knowing, and less mysteriously.
So much more I could say,
Cat Stevens sang Rubylove
And Elton John chanted crocodile rock,
And there were only 3 channels on the tele
An era where love held its own
And Nixon brought watergate scares
Yet the 70s encouraged youngsters to capture a trade
And the dawning of the 80s enlightened the stage.
