Soultime
Graham Parker

D C G (4 times)

D C G

When I was a boy I never felt The weight I'm feeling

D C G

I had a crowd around me And that was that

D C G

I'd get on the bus and go to the Ata every weekend

D C G

And feel the ultraviolet show the fluff up on my collar

D C G D C G

Yeah (horns) (bass)


They'd play Otis Redding Sam and Dave and Wilson Pickett

Prince Buster The Skatelites and the Bees Would be buzzing their horns

The boys would dance like robots The girls would walk a fashionable slink


Em Bm

Now here I am like some old man Trying to recall the way the way it was

Em Bm

Then suddenly that boy is me And I'm right back there once again


CHORUS

D C G D C G

Soultime I'm in soultime

D C G D C G

Oh yeah (horns) (bass)


D C G D C G

(horns) (bass)


We never tried to change the world It didn't need changing

We were the in crowd yeah And that was that

Graduating from a Lambretta to a Triumph Herald car

Was the only future in sight Oh and that was that

D C G D C G

(horns) (bass)


One night there was a rumble and I got head butted yeah

But those boys could not take that girl away from me

I took a handkerchief and wiped the blood way from my nose

And got right back on the dance floor And that was that


BRIDGE

Now here we are one or two scars Trying to recall the way the way it was

But now I know where I am coming from Oooh yeah I say


CHORUS

Soultime I'm in soultime

Soultime Oooh yeah ooh yeah (bass) (Funky section over D and Bm)

CHORUS

Oooh yeah Soultime Oooh yeah soultime (fade)
