The 90's
Picking up the story from where I left off,
Its 1990 now so school can fuck off
I got no GCSEs, nothing higher than a D,
I couldnt tell me mum because shed batter me
Me and?? Sat on the bowling green, life is a shitter
We had five quid between us, bought us six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home and I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me mum maybe Ill tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door and said "Mum, its like this."
She said "That mans been on the phone and youve made the list!
Youre in that boy band, son, come and giz a kiss!"
Phoned up Martin and Rich and carried on getting pissed
"Boys I dont believe it, Im gonna be famous!
Pick you up in a Porsche and buy you lots of trainers."
I met the other guys, one seemed like a cock
I think its gonna be like New Kids on The Block
I cant be bothered, cuz Im lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby
Now Im a video star
Do you know who you are, baby?
I adopted four brothers, some I liked more than others
One was like a brother from another mother
But the lead singer made it hard to like him
And I still loved him, to spite him
The first three months, you know, I nearly quit
I played snooker with me dad he said "Dont be a dick!
Unload the bullets, your mind is a gun,
Youre gonna shoot yourself when theyre number one!"
I cant be bothered, cuz Im lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby
Now Im a video star
Do you know who you are, baby?
Now its dinner with Versace, lunch with Princess Diana
And Im gonna get battered if I go out with ??
Because as much as we were loved we were also hated
The boys got jealous cuz the girls got ??
Now were famous and that and were dancing and that
And Im thinking "I cant see! Why am I stood at the back?"
So fuck the band give me some ??
So now were all a bag of nerves and not a band of brothers
I cant be bothered, cuz Im lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby
Now Im a video star
Do you know who you are, baby?
And now its breaking my heart because the dreams turned to shit
It aunt broke but Ill break it in a little bit
And Im always in trouble but Ive stopped saying sorry
Everybodys worried "What the funks wrong with Robbie?
Hes not answering his phone; hes not talking to me
I saw him on the telly at Glastonbury."
And now Im running away from everything that Ive been
And Im pissed and Im fucked and Im only nineteen
I cant perform no more, I cant perform no more
But the boys know Im fucked and so they show me the door
And if truth be told I wasnt fit enough to stay
So I put me head down and walked away.
That was the 90s; 90 to 95
I cant be bothered, cuz Im lazy
I hate those that hate me
I cant forgive and its crazy, baby
Now Im a video star
Do you know who you are, baby?
