We Should Have Known BetterWord & Music by Mick Brady
Thinking back to the days when we were just kids
I remember so well all the things that we did A long time ago when times were tough We didn’t have much, we always had enough Cowboy pictures every week at The Shack The good guys, the bad guys, the girl and the chap All the way home acting out what we saw We were bad we were mean we were quick on the drawThat was a time and that was a place When the world turned around at a different pace We grew up between the canal and the river We thought we were poor but we should have known better Going down to the church to confession each week Grim preachers preaching at the children’s retreat Little Noelie died when he was just seven They told all the kids that he’d gone to heaven Summer evenings spent hangin’ round in The Swings Or heading down The Wall to go for a swim Games on the streets until well after dark Putting on a show in somebody’s backyard First kisses kissed by the railway line Falling in love for the very first time Teasie teased the boys in her corner shop Sitting at the counter showing her stocking tops Frankie left the country, went to work in the States Billy went Down Under, wrote back it was great It didn’t take long till the gang was all goneWe’d all grown up, it was time to move on
