My first memory was Cantonment Station
When I was 5 years old
We'd traveled by train from hot Calcutta
And I remember Bangalore was cold
We stayed for a while at Victoria Layout
In a flat next to the Nairs
Then we moved to a house on MG Road
Where we stayed until my dad retired

Memories
Memories of Bangalore
I've got memories
Memories of Bangalore

Khaki uniform with a green and gold tie
At Bishop Cotton Boys' School
Where the teachers used the cane to stimulate your brain
Or if you broke the rules
Ah but that was okay because we gave
As good as we got
Once a teacher left his coat and he got a note
And a pocket full of frogs

I've got memories
Memories of Bangalore

It was St. Mark's Cathedral on Sunday morning
Reading from the Book of Psalms
While lepers stood outside its big wooden gates
And begged for any alms
Then Appam and Stew at Koshy's Restaurant
If we promised to do our chores
Or Indian Sweets and yummy savories
At KC Das next door

Memories
Memories of Bangalore
I've got memories
Memories of Bangalore

As I got older it was movies and coffee
Every evening on Brigade Road
Galaxy Rex Plaza and Lido
Where the Hollywood movies showed
Then vegetarian food or biryani
Life was one big joke
We laughed and we talked for hours and hours
With Dire Straits rum and coke

Memories
Memories of Bangalore
I have these memories
Memories of Bangalore

Commercial Street Infantry Road
And my first kiss
Rode my motorbike all around town
And even to Nandi Hills
My first concert was Uriah Heep
At the West End Grounds
I was at Koshy's Restaurant when someone told me
That John was killed with 5 rounds

Memories
Memories of Bangalore
These are memories
Memories of Bangalore
I have memories
Memories of Bangalore

Memories of Bangalore
