Mothers

My god you’ve always had my back
With a Diet Coke and Mentos pack
We exploded on the Nangreave scene
With dreams bigger than that
Remember when you turned 18
We’d go out I’d use your ID
Thursday night at 42s was like heaven to me

Our Mothers said they were friends back in the 80s
I’ve seen old photos of them they wore the same things
There was a time before you’d had your babies
At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley

Coming in from town
You should hear some of the shit we spout
Drinking gin till you passed out
Lying at your back door step all night
Imagine that now
Time is gonna get us all
At least we can say we had a ball
When I’m seventy and my accents changed
Cos I’ve been living in New York

Our Mothers said they were friends back in the 80s
I’ve seen old photos of them they wore the same things
There was a time before you’d had your babies
At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley

Our Mothers said they were friends back in the 80s
I’ve seen old photos of them they wore the same things
There was a time before you’d had your babies
At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley"
