1996

I had no cares in the 1990s I knew of no downfalls Though war was breaking out all around me My concerns were with prank calls Pre-Chorus She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek Right in front of the older kids When our self-belief, our self-belief Wasn't scarred by the modern itch 'Cause now it feels like Chorus We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Ah-ah, ah-ah Bring back 1996 Ah-ah, ah-ah So hard to beat those teenage kicks Ah-ah, ah-ah Bring back 1996 Ah-ah, ah-ah Verse 2 We were cloning sheep in the 1990s We were building telescopes And sugar filled the whole of my body As I urged it on to grow Pre-Chorus I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek Just to impress the older kids But my self-belief, my self-belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch 'Cause now it feels like Chorus We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Ah-ah, ah-ah Bring back 1996 Ah-ah, ah-ah Bridge Stop talking, stop talking Ah-ah-ah-ah I need a lover, not a friend tonight I'm leaving, I'm leaving Ah-ah-ah-ah I'm not cut out for the modern life Outro Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da I'll never beat those teenage kicks Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da I'll never beat those teenage kicks Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da I'll never beat those teenage kicks Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da Bring back 1996 Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
