i wrote a letter to my teenage self. scary thing is he wrote back.
ha! hey, that line somehow reminds me of that song by Richard Hell - 'destiny street'
You ever heard it? brilliant lyrics
I was walking down the street today
When I stepped off a curb into ten years ago
I was ten years past, and I saw myself at the age of twenty-one
Looking right back at the man I've now become.
I scared myself—I was horrified,
But elated too, like I'd
Escaped from ten year's jail
I'd never known was full of hell.
Instantly I realized
This had happened to me once before
When I was the younger guy,
And now I'd have to live it though once more.
Yes, I seduced myself.
I took me home.
I whispered only I could make
The younger guy feel less alone.
I was playing with myself.
We were playing house,
Pretending we could hide inside
The past and future to avoid our present self.
I loved myself so much that day.
I thought that I could trick my fate.
I took the fall for ten year's time,
Thinking that it would be a pleasant wait.
Yes, down on Destiny Street today
I found out twice
That playing for the past or future
Is playing with a fool's paradise.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I like the lyrics and also the music. The music has a lot of late 60s/early 70s feel to it, like a mix of styles from that time mixed together and well done.

1982 mate. NY new wave theyd have labelled it. very clever lyric i think.
by 1982 i was full into studying sitar newly married and by spring living in Germany. i missed all kinds of music for years while playing sitar. i agree. lyrics are clever. "stepped off the curb into 10 years ago". love that line right at the start.
"I was ten years past, and I saw myself at the age of twenty-one
