My Preston Days


Stationery Box and Joe Bloggs Jeans
The Potato Man selling parched peas
Avenham Park one of my old haunts
Living life too fast... to wear a coat 

Bus Station and it's vending machines
Felt all grown up yet barely a teen 
Action Records my favourite place
Brucciani’s coke-float... milkshake taste 

Preston... how I fondly remember 
Hold dear my memories forever 
Those teenage years I spent within you
At Lord Bryons, the Harris... Cafe Zoo

Incense sticks, hippy floaty clothes
Orbit, my dress shop... treasure trove 
Heineken Music Festival 
Oasis, Verve...incredible!!

90's nightlife, rhythm... cobbled streets
The Cenotaph where we'd all meet 
Doc Martens from the Army store
The Art Lab raves... now mere folklore 

So long ago and yet so bright 
In dreams still comes to me at night 
Of the way things were... used to be
Of all the things that made me... me 

If these are places I shared with you
Know you're etched in time... in rainbow hues
For Halcyon days they were to me
Forever young... we'll roam wild and free
