The 90's

Picking up the story
From where I left off
It's 1990 now so school can fuck off
I got no GCSE's
Nothing higher than a D
I couldn't tell me Mum
Because she'd batter me
Me and Tate sat on the bowling
Green, life is a shitter
We had five quid between us
And bought us six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home
And I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me mum
Maybe I'll tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door
I said "Mum it's like this"
She said "That man's been on the
Phone and you've made the list
You're in that boy band son
Come and giz a kiss"
Phoned up Martin and Rich
And carried on getting pissed
Boys I don't believe it
I'm gonna be famous
Pick you up in a Porsche
And buy you lots of trainers
I met the other guys
One seemed like a cock
I think it's gonna be like
New Kids on The Block

I cant be bothered, cause I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and it's crazy, baby
Now I'm a video star
Baa baa baa, ba baa baa
Do you know who you are, baby

I only wanted to get down
I'm making trouble in this town
For the five of us

I adopted four brothers
Some I liked more than others
One was like a brother
From another mother

But the lead singer
Made it hard to like him
And I still loved him, to spite him
The first three months
You know, I nearly quit
I played snooker with me dad
He said "Don't be a dick
Unload the bullets
You're mind is a gun
You're gonna shoot yourself
When they're number one"

I cant be bothered, cause I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and it's crazy, baby
Now I'm a video star
Baa baa baa, ba baa baa
Do you know who you are, baby

I only wanted to get down
I'm making trouble in this town
For the five of us

Now it's dinner with Versace
Lunch with Princess Diana
And I'm gonna get battered
If I go out in my manor
Cause as much as we were loved
We were also hated
The boys got jealous
Cause the girls got plated
And now we're famous and that
And I'm thinking I can sing
Why an I stood at the back

So fuck the band
Give me Sambuca and gak
We're all a bag of nerves
And not a band of brothers

I cant be bothered, cause I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and it's crazy, baby
Now I'm a video star
Baa baa baa, ba baa baa
Do you know who you are, baby

I only wanted to get down
I'm making trouble in this town
For the five of us

And now it's breaking my heart
Because the dream's turned to shit
It ain't broke but I'll
Break it in a little bit
And I'm always in trouble
But I've stopped saying sorry
Everybody's worried
What the fuck's wrong with Robbie
He's not answering his phone
He's not talking to me
I saw him on the telly
At Glastonbury
And now I'm running away
From everything that I've been
And I'm pissed and I'm fucked
And I'm only nineteen
I can't perform no more
I can't perform no more

But the boys know I'm fucked
And so they show me the door
And if truth be told
I wasn't fit enough to stay
So I put me head down
And walked away
That was the 90's, 90 to 95

I cant be bothered, cause I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and it's crazy, baby
Now I'm a video star
Baa baa baa, ba baa baa
Do you know who you are, baby
