Can you remember the days when life was a cabaret?
The water - it was wetter
The food - it tasted better
And everything was cheaper
And people all believe in something rather than nothing
And your neighbours were so trusting
The music had more tune and
Men landed on the moon and
The king was doing his thing and making all the ladies swoon and
The Beatles sang together
We had such lovely weather
I wasn't born but it's so easy to remember

—Infusion, Memory Cheats
