Lyrics:

  • Happy and I'm smiling,
  • Walking miles to drink your water.
  • You know I'd love to love you,
  • And above you there's no other.

  • We'll go walking out
  • While others shout of war's disaster.

  • Oh, we won't give in,
  • Let's go living in the past.

  • Once I used to join in,
  • Every boy and girl was my friend.
  • Now there's revolution, but they don't know
  • What they're fighting.

  • Let us close out eyes,
  • Outside their lives go on much faster.

  • Oh, we won't give in,
  • We'll keep living in the past.

  • Oh, we won't give in,
  • Let's go living in the past.


  • Released by Jethro Tull as a single (1969) then on album by same name (1972).
