Capo on 4 VERSE 1 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 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 Cos 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 a smile There's little here to miss... Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 So hard to beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996 VERSE 2 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 When my self belief, my self belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch Cos 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 a smile There's little here to miss... Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 BRIDGE 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 OUTRO
