Before I Was Cool Lyrics by M.J. Hibbett

A Church Hall Of Sound (revisited)

0

I met an old friend in Paris
She laughed to see the change in me
Through years of beards and waistcoats, lennon specs and pubs
I changed my attitude and the way i looked, but
She knew me then, when we were at school
She knew me before i was cool
We talked of festivals and bands
Record contracts, reefers and a conference in France
But all she saw was a boy sat reading quietly on his own
Humming the tuneful ZX Spectrum loading tone, because
She knew me then, when we were at school
She knew me before i was cool
But does it matter anyway?
What matters is the man i am today
Not the boy that i was then
I may not be a superstar
I don't even know how to drive a car
But at least i have got friends
So i will put away the past
Because i can look back now and laugh
And though nostalgia trips with old friends are allowed
The best times of your life are the times you’re living now, and though
I knew her then, when we were at school
I know her now, and that is cool
