Analysis of Referential
Admitting that the good guys lost
The third, the second and the first
Hopped on the last train to the coast
To go a thousand miles
And all the lovely Jersey girls
Have straightened their unruly curls
To match their diamonds and their pearls
With Lucy’s in the skies
As we were waiting for the bus
Times have a-changed a-changing us
Good bye and thanks for all the fuss
And ever-changing styles
We all are guilty of a crime
Of drinking fizzy lemon-lime
There is no reason for this rhyme
It's meditation time
It’s medication time.
