Madness - March Of The Gherkins

It's been sometime since the smile
Upon my face
Had a sneak preview in town
It's been a while since I gave chase
It's been sometime since the girl
>From round my way
Came and took me by the hand
It's been a long time since I came around

I can remember when I
Stood on my head
And walking straight across the ground
I still picture the laughing faces
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

I was told to grow up soon
Face my consequences
Being told it was high time
High time to come to my senses
Climbing up to the top floor
Stood the look of pleasure
Such a silly aged man
With an attic full of treasure

Catch me, I'm falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
