In The Past Lyrics - Singles - Darren Scott

It aint as fun as in the past 

Light that fireworks fuse 

Then you better run real fast 

These days I light em up 

I don't even hear the blast 

It aint as fun as in the past 

I used to smoke in surgery 

Then every nurse I'd see, 

I'd stop and make a pass 

Now they put this suit on me, 

They say they've been harassed 

It aint as fun as in the past 

I used to sit right here 

Get drunk on beer 

Right here on this beach 

Then I'd stumble in to St Catherines 

Do mass and preach 

These days people stop and stare 

With faces all aghast 

It aint as fun as in the past 

I loved Beccy back in school 

Then we got married 

And the first few weeks were cool 

Now her and her hot-shot lawyer 

Now they own my ass 

It sure aint as fun as in the past 

The other day I walked into a bar 

Barman looked me up and down 

And served me with a frown 

I said take back this plastic cup 

And put it in a glass 

It aint as fun as in the past 

Rules are fine some of the time 

But tell me what's the deal 

With that hard line against moonshine 

Man, are you for real? 

These kids are packed in bubble wrap 

They should let me teach a class 

It aint as fun as in the past 

I've seen too many fun police 

One thing I know 

They won't be patrolling heaven's streets 

I'll be there soon to meet Keith Moon 

And I'll raise a glass 

To having fun like in the past 

Hope it's as fun as in the past
