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 agoClothes 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 againSeventies girl, don't come any closer
There's gonna be trouble tonight
You're not staying overHey there, seventies girl
Never should have showed her
You wanna be older than you wereShe was transcendental then
Her beautiful eyes through your rose specs
Way back, in the day, I loved you
Or something like it anywaySeventies girl, you've been taken over
You never had a cradle to rock
Now you wanna go thereHey there, seventies girl
Never should have told her
You wanna be older than you wereWe fell apart just like that dress
Then taught ourselves unhappiness
I don't recall much, I confess
But wonder where she's goneSeventies girl, don't come any closer
There's gonna be trouble tonight
You're not staying overHey there, seventies girl
Never should've showed her
You wanna be older than you were
