Welcome to London, 1964
To be precise you’re in my Tin Pan Alley music store
Don’t think you’re dreaming, this is completely real
Take a moment, readjust and I’ll explain the deal
You have been chosen to come to this time and place
To endeavour through music to change the human race
Playing this guitar is all you have to do
And you can travel back and forth, nobody else but you
CHORUS:
Welcome to 1964
The whole experience lies through that door
You have the privilege to flit between this time and yours
As often as you like from either of the guitar stores
But you have ten years only, exactly to the day
And the time you’re in when that point comes is the one in which you’ll stay
(CHORUS)
There’s a choice to make in ten years’ time (x 4)
Here comes a young lad that I ought to introduce to you
He’s a good lead guitarist in a style that’s fresh and new
His name is Dewey and he wants to form a band
Dewey, meet Pete Chronos here and shake him by the hand
(CHORUS)
