    Fortis Green 3z6az

    Dave Davies 5044a


    Mum would shout and scream when dad would come home drunk
    When she asked him where he'd been, he'd say "Up the Clissold Arms"
    Chatting up some huzzy, but he didn't mean no harm
    Sunday morning drives, just to get away
    Ramsgate or Southend, it would always be a laugh
    Paddling by the sea, tros rolled up to the knees
    Walking by the sea, full of dreams, eating ice cream
    Grandma's burnt her cheeks getting brown, turn her over

    Fortis Green, memories of days when I was young
    It can only be a memory. A time that now has gone

    There's Uncle Frank tellin' stories from the war
    Frightening all the kids, yet we'd heard it all before
    While the bombs were droppin' round, there were parties underground
    Aunt Lil's at the gin, while Mum's singing songs
    From the 40's when variety, Max Miller was going strong
    All the characters are gone, oh, what a blooming shame
    I wish that it could be like it was in the old days
    Sat on Auntie's knee, toasting bread in the fire-place

    Fortis Green, memories of days when I was young
    It can only be a memory. A time that now has gone
    Memories of Fortis Green, when I was just a lad
    Collecting bottle tops, threepenny bits. Fishing with my Dad

    Sister's in the doorway, snogging with her bloke
    Scared to put the cat out 'case I put him off his stroke
    But she wouldn't be denied, I got a shilling as a bribe
    I used to do my courting on an old kitchen chair
    The girls were all so sporting, but I only really cared for my little Katie-Sue
    There was nothing she wouldn't do
    Sunday after tea we would listen to the wireless
    Hancock's half-hour, Luxembourg. We'd sit for hours

    Fortis Green, memories of days when I was young
    It can only be a memory. A time that now has gone
    Fortis Green, memories of days when I was young
    Collecting bottle tops, threepenny bits. Fishing with my Dad

    That's it
