Lyrics

Whatever happened to the '60s when the world was hip?
You boogied down to the Stones and the Beatles and shit
You used to lay in the park, relax and kick off your shoes
Perhaps light up a joint and rock to rhythm and blues, yeah
Stevie B., "Maroon Town" with me
And don't forget, no, don't forget the devious drummer Willie Mays
Because time won't stop for time that flies
But time will answer every question why
Why every woman, every man in the '60s span
Would always have a dance for their favourite band
And if you're thinkin' "What the hell does he know?"
Well, we played his funky shit upon our stereo
You know we're speakin' of nostalgia
You see we're speakin' of nostalgia
I'm speakin', "Maroon Town" speakin'
I hope you're speakin', can't see we're speakin', yeah
Yeah, woah yeah, that's nostalgia
So take time out, scream and shout
Because the fabulous brothers and sisters are turnin' it out
Do you remember (We remember) when you dressed to go boppin'?
You'd sit back down to watch Batman and Robin
All the silly crazy things that you thought that you would do it
'Cause you used to watch "The Prisoner" with Patrick McGoohan
That's right, hold tight
Because we're speakin' of nostalgia
We're speakin' of nostalgia
I'm speakin', "Maroon Town" speakin'
I hope you're speakin', can't see we're speakin', yeah
Yeah, woah yeah, that's nostalgia
Solo
When the world was hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip
Whatever happened?
Whatever happens, it happens, yeah
It happens, yeah, that's nostalgia
Chelsea boots and mohair suits
Trendy people flashin' their loot
Takin' the blues, watchin' news
Demonstrations, airin' your views
Dr. Spock, Captain Kirk
Generation that loved to flirt
Gettin' down, funky sounds
One and only James Brown
Punks and rockers havin' a fight
Zoomin' around on a Vespa bike
Outta touch, outta reach
Out here's some Brighton beach
Flower power, paint your face
Baby boom for the human race
Mini-skirts in magazines
Goodbye Miss Norma Jean
Thunderbird, Stingray
Captain Scarlet, Doris Day
Walkin', walkin' down the street
Talk to someone you meet
Talk about the go-go beats
Switch outside your feet
Crazy colours, kaleidoscope blue
And don't forget the goddamn Who
That's right, oh tonight
You'll be speakin' of nostalgia
You know we're speakin' of nostalgia
I'm speakin', "Maroon Town" speakin'
Everybody's speakin'
I hope you're speakin', yeah
Hey, woah yeah, oh, that's nostalgia
