Walter, remember when the world was young
And all the girls knew Walter's name?
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?
Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?
Yes, Walter was my mate,
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?
Walter's name.
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free.
We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea.
But it was not to be.
I knew you then but do I know you now?
Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago
If you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name.
I bet you're fat and married and you're always home in bed by half-past eight.
And if I talked about the old times you'd get bored and you'll have nothing more to say.
Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain.

That album SO SO SO SO deserved a better recording. It sounds like crap. Imagine if it had that crispness that Revolver Mono has. It'd be so great. It's in my top three favorite albums. I listen to it religiously since the topics hit home so much in my mind. And this song is just my whole feeling right now tonight. What an amazing album.

"Sitting by the river side with youuuuuuuuuuuu".

Simple but effective:

"A picture of me when I was just three,
Sucking my thumb by the old oak tree.
How I love things as they used to be ---
Don't show me no more, please."

Seriously. I totally agree with you. Do you have the 3CD deluxe version? It sounds better than a lot of the other releases (so I have been told). There's a stereo remix of Johnny Thunder that sounds amazing, but they couldn't do any other songs in the same fashion.

Nostalgia makes me sad.

But I like Village Green Preservation Society.

I have the Village Green 3-CD set.  I recommend it to anyone who likes the original album.
