  • Chill on the hollow ponds
    Set sail by a kid
    In the heat wave that hit us all
    Nineteen-seventy-six

    I felt the percussion
    The green man had gone
    Half my road was now a motorway
    Nineteen-ninety-one

    I was by the Black Sea
    Two hours in time
    Spiny urchins and the new school bell
    Nineteen-seventy-nine

    Changed into lakeside
    In January
    (Hollow ponds)
    Modern life was sprayed onto a wall
    In nineteen-ninety-three

    Where the horses and passing trains (horses and the passing trains)
    Have been tangled, revealed
    In the green woods where you walked with me
    Ship on hollow ponds was filled
    Up with the dreams (it turned into a dream)
    We shared our own CDs (we watched on LCD)
    Every moment now and everyday
    Every moment now and everyday Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Richard Russell
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Universal Music Publishing Group
