Lyrics

2006

Let's take it back in time
Skip back to the four, to the five
I'm talking that Leadmill-vibe
That Boardwalk-thing, that West Street-life
Good times but I never got closure
Woke up and I felt so sober
Rocked up and I knocked on the door
Said "Boothy's gone and the party's over"

Take me back, take me back
To when the music was a little bit better
Take me back, take me back
Cause we'll be doing it forever

Let's talk that toilet-circuit
Back then it was oh so worth it
Some blokes in the bogs trying to do some lines
And I'm trying to learn some verses
Spotlight's on, don't get nervous
Don't grieve that dust on the curtain
Two pound every six pound-ticket
And you get four pints, that's one per person

It'll be packed for certain
Nine came but six didn't turn up
It don't matter cause postal came
At the after-party, gonna chat them birds up
And we won't get nowhere
But we don't give a shit
Cause we're fucking wasted
In 2006

Take me back, take me back
To when the music was a little bit better
Take me back, take me back
Cause we'll be doing it forever

I miss them MySpace-days
Features tracks, unlimited plays
Where's all those LimeWire-files?
The artists too, cause they never got paid
Download and I'll Bluetooth that
You never know what'll be your last
Shout-out to the MSN-girls
Said BRB but I never went back

Lemme burn a CD for the car
Five pound petrol, never get far
Won't even start, bump it and then we go
Someone called Chris get a code for the stereo
And we won't get nowhere
And we don't give a shit
Cause there's no real problems
In 2006

Take me back, take me back
To when the music was a little bit better
Take me back, take me back
Cause we'll be doing it forever

Take me back, take me back
To when the music was a little bit better
Take me back, take me back
Cause we'll be doing it forever
