The Radio Racers - Innocence And Laughter

I bought my first guitar upon grey December morn
With money I'd put by all year plus a tenner from my mum
That old red guitar became the first love of my life
I played it from there after
But innocence and laughter
I gave away for free

Hurried home from school that time my last day as a boy
You moved from the girl next door to be my favourite toy
I taught you how to play the blues but you showed me how it feels
Shout it from the rafters
The innocence and laughter
We gave away for free

After the fall
Way down the line
Our golden age of rock and roll keeps running through my mind
Out on the town
Out in the blue
Out of our heads sometimes but always me and you

Tele came Strat she stayed but Les Paul She moved on
I can hear her cry at night on some of my old songs
She's living with my friend so I still get to see her try
To look forever after
The innocence and laughter
That we gave away for free

After the fall
Way down the line
Our golden age of rock and roll keeps running through my mind
Out on the town
Out in the blue
Out of our heads sometimes but always me and you
Way down the line
After the fall
Our golden age of rock and roll keeps running through us all
