I remember nights out when we were young,
|
They weren't very good, they were rubbish
|
Running round Highroyds isn't fun,
|
Just teenagers testing their courage
|
|
Standing outside nightclubs in the snow
|
Is not very cool or impressive
|
They let in all the girls from the year below
|
No need for IDs with those dresses
|
|
Got news from afar
|
From a girl who knows who we are
|
She's still got my dinner money
|
And she can keep it!
|
|
Never had a fight that we haven't lost
|
We're not very tough or athletic
|
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock
|
And when he gets out I'll regret it
|
|
Got keys to a car
|
Picked up a girl from Boston Spa
|
For fast food and the cinema
|
It's not worth it!
|
|
Got word from down south
|
Well he had heard about it word of mouth
|
Haven't much stayed in touch
|
Since Highroyds
|
|
Let it go and let it go,
|
And if I'm wrong then I won't know
|
'Cos no-one's gonna tell me but a friend
|
But he has gone and Ian's gone, and everybody went along
|
And nobody was left there in the end.
|
|
Got news from Uncle Hugh
|
Through a second cousin once removed
|
It's too late, there's a housing estate
|
It's called Highroyds!
|
|
Got a text from an ex
|
She wants to know when we're in London next
|
"and will you write a song about me?"
|
I don't think so!
