lyrics

Thanks to my sister, and all her cool friends
Listened to their music and followed all their trends
Copied her albums on to my Memorex tapes
Learned the words to play bad covers with all my mates

When I arrived at youth club, someone caught my eye
So I bought myself a cheese toastie and decided that I’d try
My luck to see if they just might like me
I put my money in the jukebox, and started to speak...

Do you like my long sleeved t-shirt, its got swear words on the back?
Look, I’ve painted my doc martins to turn them blue from black
Did you make your tie-die t-shirt? Will you please do one for me?
If you want I’ll grow my fringe just to show that I’m indie

Things were going okay but it was time to step it up
if I made a compilation tape, it just might change my luck
So I got out all my records and created the mix
It ended with a ballad, yes I knew all the tricks

Well the tape it went down well but I couldn’t lose momentum
Didn’t think that they’d want flowers, so decided not to send them
Instead I phoned the student radio to say hello
We were the only people listening but I wanted them to know

Tell me when you hear those songs, does it really seem so long
Close your eyes and it feels just like the start
Even though that it’s all gone, and I suppose we’ve both moved on
I know we’ll always have that music in our hearts
