about

A happy song about being a kid, and all the adventures we had.
Jem has a shoutout to Bellingen for being such a great place to grow up.

lyrics

Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was underwater battles at the creek.
Diving for the quartz stones, building rocky nests
so we could see the glow beneath our feet.

Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones.

Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was when the sky just opened up with rain.
We were hiding in the phone box
The road became a river and the whirlpool was a drain

Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones.

(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was)
We don't need a big adventure, come on,
pick up your sword, cos I'm so bored.
Just like when we were younger
we'll turn it into a game
and make up stories and names.
While the Summer away~

Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was fighting with the waves down at the beach.
Wrestling with the water, I don't know what we fought for-
victory was always out of reach.

Watermelon, sunburnt skin,
Just follow me and jump right in.

(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was)
We don't need a big adventure, come on
pick up your sword, cos I'm so bored,
Just like when we were younger
let's turn it into a game
and make up stories and names.
While the Summer away~

(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was)
We don't need a big adventure, come on
pick up your sword, cos I'm so bored,
Just like when we were younger
let's turn it into a game
and make up stories and names.
While the Summer away~

(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was...)
While the Summer away
(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was...)
While the Summer away

Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones
