Do You Remember Walter

 This is one of the variant songs for the James
About schoolboy friendship
And it's called do you remember Walter Walter
One and two and three
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
Oh Walter if you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name
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
Walter 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 left to say
Yes people often change but memories of people can remain
