    It is The Kobalts. Streets of Sadness came a long time after this gig which I believe was at RAF Cottesmore. Photo taken by Peter Davies a long time supporter of the band.

      As with all old rockers — this happened

      YOUNG AND IN YOUR PRIME

      When you were young and in your prime
      You never thought of passing time
      The challenge that each new day brought
      A chance to live, a girl to court
      Seize the moment, seize the day
      Can’t let a minute slip away
      But minutes soon turn into hours
      And age reduces all your powers
      No matter how you fight and try
      Those fun-filled days soon pass you by
      One minute you think life’s a breeze
      And then you start to cough and wheeze
      That body you thought lean and honed
      Has soon become just skin and bone
      Strange how inside you still feel
      Your body’s young and sprung like steel
      But gasping as you climb to bed
      You know it’s just inside your head
      How cruel the thoughts of passing time
      Now you’re not young and in your prime
