WindUp-Jethro Tull

When I was young and they packed me off to school
And taught me how not to play the game
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
Or if they said that I was just a fool
So to my old headmaster and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers

"The Circle Game"  by Joni Mitchell

"Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game...

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game."

"My Back Pages"  by The Byrds

"Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate, I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now"

"GrandMa's Hands"  by Bill Withers (RIP)

"Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore

If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands"

Way Back When  -  Kodaline

Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing
When I'm old and when I'm gray and when I stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun

Those will be the days I had my fun

Yea, in time we moved so fast
Some things are made to last
Here's to you , my dear old friend
From way back when

Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing
When I'm old and when I'm gray and when I stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun
