The Pop Kids

Remember those days

- the early 90s?

We both applied for places

at the same university

Ended up in London

where we needed to be

to follow our obsession

with the music scene

Wherever we went

whatever we did

we knew the songs

They called us the Pop Kids

’cause we loved the pop hits

and quoted the best bits

so we were the Pop Kids

I loved you

I loved you

They called us the Pop Kids

I studied history

while you did biology

To you the human body

didn’t hold any mystery

We were young but imagined

we were so sophisticated

Telling everyone we knew

that rock was overrated

We stayed out ’til late

five nights a week

and felt so chic

They called us the Pop Kids

’cause we loved the pop hits

and quoted the best bits

so we were the Pop Kids

I loved you

I loved you

They called us the Pop Kids

(Remember those days? Remember those days?)

It was a wet Wednesday night

We worried that no one would be going out

How wrong we were!

When we turned the corner

there was already a queue stretching down the street

We swept straight in and you said:

"Ooh, I like it here!

Ooh, I love it!

Ooh, I like it here!

Ooh, I love it!

Ooh, I like it here!

Ooh, I love it!

Ooh, I like it here!

Ooh, I am never going home"

I loved you

They called us the Pop Kids

’cause we loved the pop hits

and quoted the best bits

so we were the Pop Kids

I loved you
