I wish someone would invent
A VCR to help me prevent
The passing of time
Would that be such a crime?
A real life VCR
Two buttons on the tollbar
Fast forward and rewind
No instructions to purblind
Oh VCR, take me back in time
To that place of sublime
Tooth fairies n’ tales
Giant peaches that sail
Oh VCR, do take me back in time
To that coming of age and wine
Poised on the promise of life
Fearless, unabated foresight
The sweet scent of cut grass,
A band plucking blueglass,
Floral dresses at dusk,
Purity wrapped in husk
Oh VCR, take me back in time
When life burst with colour n' you were mine
Days of awe n’ wonder
Moroccan horses, stars n’ thunder
Oh VCR, take me forward in time
Far away from the crime
That poisoned life with strife
Remorse alone runs rife
Oh VCR, do take me forward in time
Far far away from the crime
To a pantheon where pain is gone
n' love flowers the garden of Babylon
Oh VCR, take me forward or back in time
Either is fine
The passing of time
Oh wouldn’t that be fine
