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

[Pre-Chorus]
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
Just to impress the older kids
But my self-belief, my self-belief
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
'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)
[Bridge]
Stop talking, stop talking (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I need a lover, not a friend tonight
I'm leaving, I'm leaving (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'm not cut out for the modern life

[Outro]
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da)
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da)
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da)
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da)
Bring back 1996
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da)3
