Guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I cannot remember the name of the song or who the artist was but it's probably from the 70s or 80s. My friends will be grateful for the info coz they're sick to death of me singing just these six words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman14141414 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Lonestar-Class Reunion (That Used To Be Us) Well I rolled into town With the ragtop down I was looking for that homecoming queen That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read Welcome back class of '83 There were football guys twice their size Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair The names were the same but the faces had changed I didn't recongize anyone there That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go That used to be us Oh, that used to be us I had a drink with some buds Played a lot of catch up Danced with my date from the prom But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes Everybody I knew was gone There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French He was dancing with a couple of canes And that homecoming queen, yeah the girl of my dreams She didn't even remember my name That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go That used to be us As I stand here and look around I can't help but wonder Who will we be ten years from now That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go That used to be us Oh that used to be us That used to be us That used to be us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi Wenjo. That's one of my favourite 70s songs. It's a South African band called Osmosis. The song was #2 in Australia in 1974. The title is shown "She (Didn't Remember My Name)". Goodness knows why they left "even" out of the title, because it's sang that way throughout. If you can't get it on a download, I have it on CD and may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hey Old55 -- Forgot to say thanks for the CD offer. I've ordered a little old EP through GEMM and with Clean restoration software will get it onto CD, so should be listening to it real soon. Wonder why it wasnt a hit in the US or UK?
