Gilbert O`sullivan I Remember Once Lyrics

I Remember Once Lyrics

I remember once as a boy of nine

 My sister eating glass

 Though she thought it strange

 For a glucose fruit

 She enjoyed the taste it had

 

 Having lived with you over seven years

 It's amazing looking back

 At the time our parents were of the view

 Outside marriage it would never last

 Now my parents they were

 Divorced last year

 And yours are separating soon

 If they'd spent less time picking holes in us

 Maybe they might not have been doomed

 

 I remember once, as a child at school

 My teacher calling me

 And it, wasn't `Raymond, step forward please`

 It was `O'Sullivan, come here'

 Now at school they teach you to be polite

 But as far as I am concerned

 If the ones who teach you

 Don't know themselves

 How on earth are we supposed to learn

 

 You might remember, just a few years back

 Man's first footprints on the moon

 Who'd have thought that after

 Such a giant step

 It would mean so little so soon

 Mean so little so soon

 

 If you go outside for a breath or air

 And you start by breathing in

 When you feel it's done you a power of good

 It could have done more damage than you'd think

 For the air we breath may be all that's ours

 But you mustn't be fooled by space

 At the rate we're going we'll all be dead

 Breathing in our very own waste

 

 Its amazing really, let me explain

 But the thought of ending up dust

 Is a clear reminder to those who feel

 They're superior to us...superior to us
