[kj] Moving on

[Steve Hackett]

I'm talking in the past tense here Peter - when I was young - which seems a 
long time ago - and working!! I hasten to add
All of my spare time was spent following Wolves around the lower regions of 
the football league and following 3rd division bands around the UK - I had 
no ties,no health probs,enough cash to do what I wanted,met hundreds of 
great people and had a fabulous time.
Yes times change,I'm married with a kid ("when I should be having fun?") - 
I'm happy - but I cant just think about myself and nor do I want to,perhaps 
I'm just looking back with rose tinted glasses but in recent years I've lost 
all my grandparents,I've watched my dad die in front of me, my wifes been 
seriously ill and someimes you think.."Those were the days,we thought they'd 
never end,we'd sing and dance together for a day,we'd live the life we 
chose,we'd fight and never lose,cos we are the Wolves oh yes we are the 
Wolves..."

sorry got carried away again
