lyrics

Summer days in Landscape Park we all played football until dark
And goals were scored between the open gates
The touchlines were the garden wall, the games were just a free for all
Till mothers called “come in you’re out too late”

Those were times of innocence and ice pops for a couple of pence
And every day was filled with sunshine then
I must go back to Landscape Park and kick a football until dark
And make believe that I’m a child again.

On Saturdays a few of us would climb on board the 14 bus
And tuppence took us all the way to town
The picturehouse on Stephen’s Green would bring us where we’d never been
And things we’d never seen, for half a crown

The radio tuned to 208 would keep us entertained till late
We picked our favourites from the singles chart
In Woolworths store on Grafton St with pocket money saved for weeks
We bought the sheets and learned them off by heart.

Tommy Keyes Ireland

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
