V1
I’m drifting back the years again,
to our prime debut, to my first best friends,
to brothers in arms, beers and guitars,
a goodnight kiss before her father’s car.
But, my life in the hands of the last bus home,
to street wise command, our fates tied and owned.
The regrets and the answers, and the years, they do fade,
but we got something surely that time could never take...
Chorus
If you’re going down
by the Links fairground
Where the nights were long,
and the music loud.
Would you remember me to the girl up the street?
Cause I was once her teenage lover.
I was once her teenage lover.

We went back to school on a Monday morning,
they had no idea what had been or was coming.
When the weekend came, we were kings again.
Drinking up the rider and the local fame.
Chain smoking in the cold, and dancing all night.
Quite simple really, but the days of our lives.
The regrets and the answers, and the years, they do fade,
but we got something surely that time could never take...
Chorus
If you’re going down
by the Links fairground
Where the nights were long,
and the music loud.
Would you remember me to the girl up the street?
Cause I was once her teenage lover.
I was once her teenage lover.
V3
No parsley or sage, no rosemary or thyme
But Guinness, Marlboro Red and or Lucky Strike
With the sting in the tears when the sweat hit the eyes
A last dance floor kiss before the ugly lights
We were running hard, like it was a race to grow up,
and now that we are here, I think, what was the rush...
the regrets and the answers, and the years, they do fade,
but we got something surely that time could never fake.
Chorus
If you’re going down
by the Links fairground
Where the nights were long,
and the music loud.
Would you remember me to the girl up the street?
Cause I was once her teenage lover.
I was once her teenage lover.
