introduction to why i did it - stephen pastel, gavin thomson & the pastels lyrics

okay, why am i doing this?
i’m doing this because of memorial device
i’m doing this to stand up for airdrie
i’m doing this because, later on, everyone would often became social workers
and did courses of how to teach english as a foreign language
or got a job in greggs
well, not everybody
some people died or disappeared or went into seclusion more like
i’m doing, well
i was going to say i’m doing it because, back then, anything seemed possible
back then being 1983, ’84, ’85
what i call the glory years
the glory years, what a joke, right?
but really, that wouldn’t be true ’cause, back then, everything seemed impossible
i’m doing it because, for a moment, when everything seemed impossible
everybody was doing everything
reading, listening, writing, creating
sticking up posters, taking notes
passing out, throwing up
rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing in dark, windowless rooms at 2 p.m.
like the future was just up ahead
and we better be ready for it

(johnny thunders, come on)

and now, already, it’s the rotten past, isn’t it?
dead and buried
gone forever, we all know that
