90's

Picking up the story from where I left off
Its 1990 now so school can fuck off
I got no GCSEs, nothing higher than a D
I couldnt tell me mum because shed batter me

Me and Tate sat on the bowling green, life was a shitter
We had five quid between us and bought six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home and I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me Mum, maybe Id tell her tomorrow

I stumbled through the door I said, "Mum its like this"
She said, That mans been on the phone and youve made the list
Youre in that boy band son, come and give us a kiss
Phoned up Martin and Rich and carried on getting pissed

Boys I dont believe it, Im goin to 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 its going to be like 'New Kids On The Block'

I cant be bothered cause Im lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby

Now Im a video star
(Im making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(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, despite him

The first three months, you know I nearly quit
I played snooker with my Dad, he said Dont be a dick
Unload the bullets, youre mind is a gun
Youre gonna shoot yourself when theyre number one

I cant be bothered cause Im lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby

Now Im a video star
(Im making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)

Now its dinner with Versace, lunch with Princess Diana
And Im 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 were famous and that, and were dancing and that
And Im thinking I can sing why am I stood at the back
So fuck the band give me Sambuka and gak
Now we're all a band of nerves, you know a band of brothers

I cant be bothered cause Im lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby

Now Im a video star
(Im making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)

And now its breaking my heart because the dreams turned to shit
It aint broke but Ill break it in a little bit
And Im always in trouble but Ive stopped saying sorry
Everybodys worried What the fucks wrong with Robbie?

He's not answering his phone, hes not talking to me
I saw him on the telly at Glastonbury
And now Im running away from everything that Ive been
And Im pissed and Im fucked, and Im only nineteen

I cant conform no more, I cant perform no more
But the boys know Im fucked and so they show me the door
And if the truth be told I wasnt fit enough to stay
So I put my head down and walked away
That was the 90's, '90 to '95

I cant be bothered cause Im lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby

Now Im a video star
(Im making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
