It was, of course, long ago,
But we are still alive,
The drinking: as a sort of vow,
And just a little of jive.
Short-haired, sodden working-classes,
Long-haired, sodden artists and the sort.
You did not need the looking-glasses
To see what all this was done for.
The time was enemy and foe,
We simply had to kill it, kill…
Two-bottles-drunk: you are hero,
But not enough to feel your fill.
