Never go back. Never go back.
Never return to the haunts of your youth.
Keep to the track, to the beaten track,
Memory holds all you need of your youth.
Never look back. Never look back.
Never succumb to the gorgon?s stare.
Keep to the track, to the beaten track,
Nothing is waiting and no-one is there.
Never go back. Never go back.
Never surrender the future you?ve earned.
Keep to the track, to the beaten track,
Never return to the bridges you?ve burned.
Never look back. Never look back.
Never retreat to the ?glorious past?.
Keep to the track, to the beaten track,
Treat every day of your life as your last.
Never go back. Never go back.
Never acknowledge the ghost on the stair.
Keep to the track, to the beaten track,
No-one is waiting and nothing is there.
It's by Felix Dennis who launched Maxim which is a bit odd as I expected it to be by an Edwardian gentleman.
I really like it as I am knocking on a bit and I think "Memory holds all you need of your youth" should be broadcast subliminally to everyone who gets into debt spending money on cosmetic surgery and ridiculous face creams and britney style jeans. My friend (39) said it's prompted him to remove himself from Facebook .
Sums up all the reasons why you should never go to a school reunion.
