  • (Tripping words below)
    Tripping to the moon last night, and baby it was out of site,
    I couldn't find my way back home,.. you know it's just too far,
    floating around in space like a superstar,
    And when the bubble finally burst, I came crashing down to Earth,
    were I couldn't get a word in edgeways if I tried,
    no I couldn't get a word in edgeways if I tried,
    Ooooo Oooo
    So I had to take a look outside, to the bubble flying in the sky,
    the moon was turning blue, like a naked eye,
    I couldn't find my way back home,.. you know it's just too high,
    And when the bubble finally burst, I came crashing down to Earth,
    were I couldn't get a word in edgeways if I tried,
    no I couldn't get a word in edgeways if I tried,
    Ooooo Oooo
    I couldn't get a word in edgeways if I tried,
    Ooooo Oooo Ooooo Oooo

      My nan lived in Portland Gardens. I remember going in the Green Man when my dad was in there. My aunt also lived in Portland Gardens. I loved playing about around there. I could smell the glue factory as well as Tate & Lyles 😊
      That was about 1980 until she moved when they were pulling it down. I remember a few names. It was fairly quiet and safe to me as a kid.

    My mate lived in one of these 1980s...4th floor...it was quite a big flat, can you imagine these refurbished...they would have been worth a bomb......my missus used to live in one similar in the south end...only a few of these type of flats left in Liverpool now

    Our Mums talked about these places like it were Heaven on Earth. Despite,the war, they had so many happy memories from the Dingle. They’re all dead and buried now, but in sue this is what Heaven looks like to them.

      Leslie I grew up in The Dingle, Caryl Gardens. They were the happiest days of my life, we had nowt but people took a real pride in their community. I can remember my Mum scrubbing the step, on her hands and knees in the middle of winter. Everyone had a real sense of belonging and was only too happy to help a neighbour out. We left in 1980, when they were getting ready to be demolished. If they would have Modernised them, I would have been more than happy to stay. Happy days😊😊.

    They look proper clean back then. Kids in them days would not dare say boo to a ghost cause in them days ohh boy you would be done for. I think the problem with old swan today is under investment yeah you got tescos but that's it adds and farmfoods too but the farmfoods is a mess with like 3 staff. If I had a choice of going back or staying here now id love to go back in time to them days. At least I can walk the streets and not be in fear of these gangs of youths today

    Some of those very short bits from other parts of the city include the library in Norris Gren and the shops at Longview in Huyton, when the surrounding estates had just been built by LCC. I lived there for most of my childhood and even spent a few years living above the shops themselves. Lovely flats, but the place had become a problematic shithole by the mid 70s'.
