Just listened to a song from my adolescence. Now I feel melancholy. What a fucking mess this all is. When this song was a regular on my tape player in my shitty little car, the world was nothing like this. There wasn't even any digital. No mobile phones, nothing. Any idea how exciting life is when you are totally out of contact the moment you leave your front door until you arrive at the pre-arranged destination. Everything was exciting when it wasn't all right there in your pocket.
I want to go back there. I want to be 18 again. In my shitty little car, with my cassettes, and my shitty bit of money. I was never richer than when I had a crappy weekday job and a Saturday job in a shop and it earned me just enough to get me blasted at the pub every night from Thursday to Sunday.
Now everything is a fucking crisis. The economy, the errr, the, the other stuff... you don't need me to list all the things that are fucking wrong do you?. Its a fucking mess people. Clear it up wont you? and give me back my X reg 1.0 mini metro, and my cassettes, and my ripped jeans, and my proper original Chucks before they became cheaply made by Nike, and my confident attitude, and two weeks of Ibiza nightclubs every summer, and my teenage body WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SAUSAGE ROLL I'M TRAPPED INSIDE? I USED TO BE BUILT LIKE A FUCKING ACTION MAN FFS. GET ME OUT OF THIS.
Fuck it. Don't go back to the past and listen to that sad shit you used to listen to when you were feeling lovelorn. It pulls you into a chasm of sadness and loss.
Here's to you 1988. I hope we can do it again some day. Those drinks. The girls. Those three blondes at the Old Varsity Tavern. Fuck knows what their names were, but dammit, thank you for those 1988, thank you for blowing my mind.
