Lyrics
Down from the attic in your old things
My new girlfriend has a curious streak
Half lit in the hall, she's like you
Twenty years ago
Clothes from a case you'd thrown at me
Orange, yellow, red and chartreuse green
Way back in the day, I lost you
Don't tell me here we go again
Seventies girl, don't come any closer
There's gonna be trouble tonight
You're not staying over
Hey there, seventies girl
Never should have showed her
You wanna be older than you were
She was transcendental then
Her beautiful eyes through your rose specs
Way back, in the day, I loved you
Or something like it anyway
Seventies girl, you've been taken over
You never had a cradle to rock
Now you wanna go there
Hey there, seventies girl
Never should have told her
You wanna be older than you were
We fell apart just like that dress
Then taught ourselves unhappiness
I don't recall much, I confess
But wonder where she's gone
Seventies girl, don't come any closer
There's gonna be trouble tonight
You're not staying over
Hey there, seventies girl
Never should've showed her
You wanna be older than you were
