I am not J.K.Rowling or Bryan Adams
Before October of '81 (to the tune of "The Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams)-- 2
Narrator: Sirius Black
Setting: Just before Peter's betrayal and the fall of Voldemort
I got a real flyin' motorbike.
My uncle treated me like a son.
I rode it 'til it ran out of gas;
That was before October of '81.
Me and my friend Marauders
Hung out 'til graduation day.
But then Peter made scarce; James got married.
I should have known we'd go our separate ways.
Oh when I look back now,
Those schooldays seemed to last forever.
Oh, when we marauded,
I knew my friends'd betray me never.
Those were the best days of my life.
I got kicked out of my house
But that was fine; I stayed with James
He was closer to my than my own kin
Friendship's so much deeper than plain family names!
Standin' underneath full moon
We'd promised we'd be friends forever.
Oh, when we marauded,
I knew my friends'd betray me never.
Those were the best days of my life.
Back before October of '81.
Man, we were killin' time.
We were young and restless;
We needed to unwind.
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no . . .
Then the times startin' changin';
Dark pureblood wizards started makin' a din.
Now I'm gonna take that old motorbike,
And bring to Peter what's comin' to him!
Standin' underneath full moon,
We'd promised we'd be friends forever.
Yet when I saw my best friend's body,
I knew that that had not been clever.
That was the worst day of my life.
Oh, back before October of '81.
