People coming into view Trigger memories of your youth Times you spent and didn't care Swearing to return a stare Smash the fascists and anarchy Things uniting you and me Claiming dole and living cheap Daytime being the time to sleep Wheel chair racers Crash and stumble Drunken punken people play Once I had my bondage trousers Margarine, it spiked my hair Hey, I don't care if I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, I'll keep on being angry Cheap cider is the drink of choice Gets you there and gives you voice A bottle for six won't get you pissed But uses time up you've not missed Three chords is all you play With rebellious attitude And something to say Wheel chair racers Crash and stumble Drunken punken people play Once I had my bondage trousers Margarine, it spiked my hair But I don't care if I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, but I'll keep being angry Memories of pubs we played Pissed up people getting laid Waking up the morning after Struggling to join the laughter Hangovers now are of the past Hair is thinning, greying fast The man who's always been inside Takes his eyes and opens wide Coz I don't care that I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, but I'll keep being angry

Being Angry
Punk. Music with attitude. Swearing and drinking. A particular way of dressing. Anyone could pick up a guitar and start making music. Many did. (Too many.) And anger over the cratering recession and the annihilation of traditional industry. Music and fashion change and age creeps up. The attitude remains.
