do you remember walter?

kinks, the

walter

remember when the world was young

and all the girls knew walter's name?

walter

isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?

do you remember

walter

playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?

do you remember

walter

smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?

yes

walter was my mate

but walter

my old friend

where are you now?

walter's name. walter

isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?

do you remember

walter

how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free. we'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea. but it was not to be. i knew you then but do i know you now?

walter

you are just an echo of a world i knew so long ago

if you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name. i bet you're fat and married and you're always home in bed by half-past eight. and if i talked about the old times you'd get bored and you'll have nothing more to say. yes people often change

but memories of people can remain.
