In The Past Lyrics

It ain’t as fun as in the past

Light that fireworks fuse

Then you better run real fast

These days I light ‘em up

I don't even hear the blast

It ain’t as fun as in the past

I used to smoke in surgery

Then every nurse I'd see,

I'd stop and make a pass

Now they put this suit on me,

They say they've been harassed

It ain’t as fun as in the past

I used to sit right here

Get drunk on beer

Right here on this beach

Then I'd stumble in to St Catherines

Do mass and preach

These days people stop and stare

With faces all aghast

It ain’t as fun as in the past

I loved Beccy back in school

Then we got married

And the first few weeks were cool

Now her and her hot-shot lawyer

Now they own my ass

It sure ain’t as fun as in the past

The other day I walked into a bar

Barman looked me up and down

And served me with a frown

I said take back this plastic cup

And put it in a glass

It ain’t as fun as in the past

Rules are fine some of the time

But tell me what's the deal

With that hard line against moonshine

Man, are you for real?

These kids are packed in bubble wrap

They should let me teach a class

It ain’t as fun as in the past

I've seen too many fun police

One thing I know

They won't be patrolling heaven's streets

I'll be there soon to meet Keith Moon

And I'll raise a glass

To having fun like in the past

Hope it's as fun as in the past
