We had a video player lots vhs got my ppv’s from W W F
I had plenty of figures to replicate the fights , bashing them together on a Saturday night
Pokemon digimon yugioh crazy bones CD UK on tv Dr Fox on radio
tried to complete a footy sticker book but never had any luck
Captain Pugwash was the kinda bloke i’d someday like to be and yes i’ve always felt a little connected to the sea
But there was one fad that got my goat it Never tickled me fancy or floated my boat no
Chorus
I never felt the same way about cars
A High speed metal box on wheels
Never got me in the feels.
I never felt the same way about cars
The Windscreen wipers fast and furious
The whole thing never made me curious.
I preferred bubble bath to getting in the shower you didn’t have to choose between britpop and girl power
I found free Pogs in me cereal back then in between Getting high off a lickle gel pen
Tamagochi backwards cap dungarees with a fanny pack
my God does it take me back when i hear abouts Art Attack
The Simpsons could still make me laugh
I didn't know Will Smith was naff
Met both the Chuckle Brothers and even got an autograph
Chorus

V1
Going out just cos you can
anywhere From here to Japan
enough captains to bust a move
playing around nothing to prove
I Take a sip from the cup of life
and ask myself
Chorus
Do you remember those nights
Bright lights ripped jeans and tights
Music put the world to rights
Do you remember those night
V2
Flip off all the demons that called you nasty names
It’s time for us to banish all the pawns in Satans games
dancing with people that you’ve only just met, a time for celebration . No time for-regret.
Run through Crooked Corridors haunted by your past
seek the thrill of winning after always coming last.
Chorus
Bridge
do you remember
Those nights before we had a clue
Everything still felt so new
Every star was ours in the night sky
When we drank draught and not just cans
who knew dancing could be banned
This disco is a room with a view.
Chorus

Plastic Validation

It was more than a summer you were my best friend
At least I thought so in my mind
The copper kettle on the stove top
Whistled broken revolutions
But we're living seperaete lives
She said I can say anything you always wanted to hear
But it wont keep you warm my dear
Is it ever enough just plastic validation alright
And the words dont make it better
I wore potential like a sweater in the night
Years of teenage indecision came to fairy tales and broken dreams
but it never gets the girl
Its been 18 years, you've seen a million countries, but I can still show you the world
She said I can say anything you always wanted to hear
But it wont keep you warm my dear
Is it ever enough just plastic validation alright
And the words dont make it better
I wore potential like a sweater in the night

Now I really am alright,
sometimes I even dream nice things
in the night.
& I wear smiles on my face
that come from an honest place
There are worse things in the world,
than my self I know.
Thanks to you I know.
