Lyrics

Young Pretenders

We live these months just for the fun

Spend all our time out in the sun

I sit and wish for longer days

Bask in drunken summer haze

The cornershops went out again

All the good pubs packed to ten

We'll always find a way to be

Top of the crew; chain running free

Oh, yeah, we gotta go

There's no other way, we know

Days and nights, just go

Wish they were never ending

A summer holiday

Our time as the young pretenders

We'll waste out days away

Going out as the young pretenders

Yeah, we all agree

That we're longing to be free

No other way to be

Long live the young pretenders

Walk through the nextdoor neighbor's yard

While breaking rules and acting hard

Take out the pins, yeah, walk the talk

Caught up at [?] like a lot

Hanging out in the local pub

We'll piss about till after dark

Forget that we're supposed to meet

Those other girls from down the street

Oh, yeah, we gotta go

There's no other way, we know

Days and nights, just go

Wish they were never ending

A summer holiday

Our time as the young pretenders

We waste out days away

Going out as the young pretenders

Yeah, we all agree

That we're longing to be free

No other way to be

Long live the young pretenders

A summer holiday

'Cause there's no other way

La-la-la La-la-la

A summer holiday

Our time as the young pretenders

We waste out days away

Going out as the young pretenders

Yeah, we all agree

That we're longing to be free

No other way to be

Long live the young pretenders

A summer holiday

A summer holiday

We'll be more than young pretenders
