1996

I had no cares in the 1990s

I knew of no downfalls

The war was breaking out all around me

My concerns were with prank calls

She kissed me on the cheek

She kissed me on the cheek

Right in front of the older kids

When my self belief my self belief

Wasn't scarred by the modern itch

'Cause now it feels like

We kissed with one eye on our TV set

And the more I give the less I get

Using fairground rides just to spark her smile

There's little here to miss

Bring back 1996

Bring back 1996

I want to beat those teenage kicks

Bring back 1996

We were cloning sheep in the 1990s

We were building telescopes

And sugar filled the whole of my body

As I edged it all to grow

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

We kissed with one eye on our TV set

And the more I give the less I get

Using fairground rides just to spark her smile

There's little here to miss

Bring back 1996

Bring back 1996

Stop talking stop talking

I need a lover not a friend tonight

I'm leaving I'm leaving

I'm not cut out for the modern life

I'll never beat those teenage kicks

I'll never beat those teenage kicks

I'll never beat those teenage kicks

Bring back 1996
