"[This is] a spot where I would play as a kid in the lanes behind my grandparents house. I hope it paints a clearer picture of why this place is special, and I hope maybe it sparks memories in others that may have had similar experiences as a kid in your typical working class town."
We made dens, scored pens,
learned to ride unstabilised,
pulled the left brake instead of right,
and performed my first over-the-handlebar flight.
Threatened one time with a shiny little pocket knife,
in addition to gaining bruises and cuts over the usual nonsense strife.
Swapped cards, swapped sweets,
dealt tip tops, chalked streets.
Through one door I experienced my first date,
crisp sandwiches and a fresh heart and arrow tattoo,
it peeled the next day and she decided i'm better at being her mate
Your dinner’s getting cold again boy,
It’s a rush inside to wolf the sausage and chips down,
before I return out once more,
and only once more.
