When I was a boy I never felt the weight I'm feeling
I had a crowd around me and that was that
I'd get on the bus and go to the ATA every weekend
And feel the ultraviolet show the fluff up on my collar
They'd play Otis Redding, Sam and Dave
And Wilson Picket, Prince Buster, The Skatalites
And bees would be buzzing their horns
The boys would dance like robots
The girls would walk a fashionable slink
Now here we are one or two scars
Trying to recall the way it was
But now I know where I am coming from
Soultime, I'm in soultime
We never tried to change the world, it didn't need changing
We were the in crowd and that was that
Graduating from a Lambretta to a Triumph Herald car
Was the only future in site and that was that
One night there was a rumble and I got head butted, yeah
But those boys could not take that girl away from me
I took a handkerchief and wiped the blood away from my nose
And got right back on the dance floor and that was that
Now here we are one or two scars
Trying to recall the way it was
But now I know where I am coming from
Soultime, I'm in soultime
