lyrics

The Buzzcocks used to play frequently
on the jukebox of Murio's Trophy Room
'Why Can't I Touch It' 'Ever Fallen in Love'
with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with
The Pixies used to play
on the jukebox at Chel's 6th Street Rendezvous
'Where is My Mind' feet on the air head on the ground
instantly I dug their sound
I used to see you walking near the corners
of Shrader & Haight
white as a ghost all dressed in black
I could tell it was you by the spark of your heels
going to some destination I would never know
House Painters used to play on the jukebox
at The Uptown 17th & Capp
somewhere there's a picture
a black & white Polaroid from those early days
we would rehearse at Carol Lennon's studio
some of the girls from the scene would come around
meeting their boyfriends playing in bands
Nici Anna Rory and you
that was a time when our hearts and minds
were young and strong that was a time
when you and your mother lived in Daly City
on Olympic Drive
That was a time
on Olympic Drive . . .
