We have all lived through that shriveling moment when a parent walks into a room and repeats, with sardonic disbelief, a couplet picked up from the stereo or the TV. 'What does that mean, then?' my mother asked me during Top of the Pops. "Get it on / Bang a gong"? How long did it take him to think of that, do you reckon?' And the correct answer - 'Two seconds, and it doesn't matter' - is always beyond you, so you just tell her to shut up, while inside you're hating Marc Bolan for making you like him even though he sings about getting it on and banging gongs.

The houses have been condemned on Memory LaneI__ tired of this struggle that leaves everything the sameI__e tried so hard to make it workthat I__ dying insideWell, you can take my pastBut you can__ have my tomorrowPromises that remain promises are useless and they__e cheapI wish I could put a price on words so I could make them keepI put so much faith in youI lost all my faith in meWell, you can take my pastBut you can__ have my tomorrowI__ giving up on giving upI can__ leave it all to prayer__ause the first step in getting betteris knowing what__ not thereYou said you__ make it betterand that just makes it worseWell, you can take my pastBut you can__ have my tomorrowYes, I want my life to lastSo you can__ have my tomorrowNo, you can__ have my tomorrow
