1996 lyrics

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Bring back 1996 (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
So hard to beat those teenage kicks (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Bring back 1996 (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

[Verse 2]
We were cloning sheep in the 1990s
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I urged it on to grow
