| When I was a kid we only had 4 channels on the TV
|
| Yep- 1,2,3 and 4
|
| And if you couldn’t find a channel that was playing The Simpsons then you were
|
| probably calling for your friend next door
|
| I remember the first album that I bought
|
| I memorized the sleeve and I listened 'til I was completely over it
|
| But it’s sad I don’t remember the title or the artist of the first song I ever
|
| downloaded
|
| I remember seeing my first mobile phone
|
| And being completely obsessed with Snake
|
| School’s biggest threat was calling home
|
| Selling cans for 50p on my lunch break
|
| I remember when LOL meant 'lots of love'
|
| And there wasn’t such a thing as a selfie
|
| I remember the late nineties when suddenly they realized that Pot Noodles
|
| weren’t healthy
|
| BRB
|
| ASL
|
| D' you remember AOL?
|
| D' you remember your dial up connection?
|
| Remember MSN and MySpace and Trojan horses
|
| And your pop-up anti-virus protection?
|
| Remember the freedom of coming home from school
|
| And knowing that you only had to do your homework
|
| Able to forget some of the names that had stuck
|
| Some of the names that kinda, made you feel hurt
|
| And then you sent a picture for a laugh or to that lad
|
| Just to get a little bit of attention
|
| Now you’ve just had to explain to your mum and your dad
|
| Why it’s on Facebook and in your Twitter mentions
|
| Then you see those names again
|
| Those ones that you hate
|
| Just forever turning up on your timeline
|
| In the morning you grab your phone and check as soon as you’re awake
|
| So it’s always gonna be in your eyeline
|
| You got far less time to be a kid
|
| Matter of fact you probably feel like the timer has started
|
| So, take some time to fall out with that very best friend you never thought
|
| would be the devil incarnate
|
| Camp on the hills and forget your tent
|
| Regret every decision that you make at fifteen
|
| Watch the prices go up in your local shop
|
| I still can’t believe that Freddos are more than 10p! |
