Fortis Green — текст песни (Kinks)





Mum would shout and scream when dad would come home drunk

When she asked him where hed been, hed say "up the clissold arms"

Chatting up some huzzy, but he didnt mean no harm

Sunday morning drives, just to get away

Ramsgate or southend, it would always be a laugh

Paddling by the sea, trousers rolled up to the knees

Walking by the sea, full of dreams, eating ice cream

Grandmas 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



Theres uncle frank tellin stories from the war

Frightening all the kids, yet wed heard it all before

While the bombs were droppin round, there were parties underground

Aunt lils at the gin, while mums singing songs

From the 40s 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 aunties 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



Sisters in the doorway, snogging with her bloke

Scared to put the cat out case I put him off his stroke

But she wouldnt 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 wouldnt do

Sunday after tea we would listen to the wireless

Hancocks half-hour, luxembourg. wed 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



Thats it
