1996

I had no cares in the 1990's
 I knew of no downfalls
 Though 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 our self belief, our self belief
 Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
 'Cause now it feels like
 We kiss with one eye on our TV set
 And the more I give, the less I get
 Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile
 There's little here to miss
 Bring back 1996
 Bring back 1996
 So hard to beat those teenage kicks
 Bring back 1996

 We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
 We were building telescopes
 And sugar filled the whole of my body
 As I urged it on 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 kiss with one eye on our TV set
 And the more I give, the less I get
 Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile
 There's little here to miss
 Bring back 1996
 Bring back 1996
 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

 I'll never beat those teenage kicks
