Copacabana - Barry Manilow - Lyrics

I remember this song playing on the radio as a child. Of course i had no idea of the total lyrics until this week. The final verse paints a bleak modern day outcome for this song lyric romance...an out come of destruction and entropy. 
  We sometimes fail to realise that old people were not always old , and buildings hold a history we may never learn of. There is nothing new under the sun as they say, but tales evapourate over time and who knows what stories get lost ? If these walls could talk !!

The cruel creators sport ?

Insults ! Crass observations ! Unbelievable painful words typical of past emotional upsets remanifesting...even now decades later, situations try to remanufacture themselves, and at this time of life ? Why i left that malarky behind a long while ago..didnt i ? It seems i am being tested and my response seals whether ive moved on or will fall into the old pitfalls....
