Things Were Better in the Nineties
Things were better in the nineties I’ve come to appreciate
‘Cus way back when I was a bratty little sprog full of love and hate
Emotions were mountains and valleys, peaks and troughs
And most retarded townies thought I was a greebo goth
Of course they were just like me – misunderstood
Music was awesome much better in our day
But every generation believes the same, at least that’s what they say
But come on, we had ‘Nirvana’, ‘Guns N Roses’ and… well yeah ok we had the ‘Spice Girls’ too
And ‘Take That’ and ‘Boyzone’ and shite oh yeah that other band ‘Blue’
But music was mostly better – this MUST be understood
In the nineties we had proper friends you know – they were real
We had to go over each others houses and when it came to girls you could actually cop a feel
Not just perv over photos of fat birds taken from that ‘Facebook’ angle to make them look thin
Or be getting off over a webcam, dear oh dear, where do I begin?
Young folk like us would call you lot geeks – we just wouldn’t understand
In the nineties summer was summer for all 6 weeks of summer break
The sunshine poured with the odd thunderstorm but it we had proper suntans, they weren’t fake
We got our kicks in the rec’s and parks
We weren’t stuck indoors playing ‘Halo’, stinking of stale farts
Young people get out and get some exercise – your hearts are precious, you MUST understand
So yes things were better in the nineties but the eighties even better
So were the seventies and sixties I’ve heard but the noughties and teenies just ‘wetter’
Sure you’ve got smartphones and social media tycoons
But you’re also suffering from economic bust and boom
So my dear young people yes, the nineties were so much better now do you understand?
