2
Rushing out of Kings Cross station
3
Spilling to the glow of Darlinghurst Road
4
Underneath the Coke sign(?)
5
Hidden in the hip-folk
6
Right rhythm, white lights and the bouncers inviting me to strip shows
7
I was 17 with the face of 15
8
Carried my skateboard with me to the slipstream
9
You could be the king of the Cross or just sightseeing
10
Or take flight from the lime light like me
11
My brother ran a nightclub playing Hip-hop
12
In a club called Late Girls
13
Once upon a time it was owned by Abe Saffron
14
Long way from Oasis to the underworld
15
He would sneak me in before ten when the doors open
16
On the dance-floor dark and scared
17
And the bartender knew I wasn't legal
18
But was pretending I wasn't there
19
I was about to learn
20
These girls in knee length socks did not dance like I did
21
Did not dance indie, kid
22
Did not dance like me
23
In Fred Berry shirts these guys did not dance like I did
24
Did not dance Brit-pop, kid
25
(Check this out)
26
Did not dance like me
27
What ya, what ya, what ya want?
28
By 12 with the party proper kickin'
29
Room full of Alvins, Cockers and Frenchman(?)
30
"˜Couple Liam Browns and they're dancing to The Smiths
31
And there I am in the middle of the dance floor pissed
32
Showing off my running man
33
Shake it like Q-tip
34
And even apple-bottom
35
Like I was on some new shit
36
Proper etiquette
37
Hide it, shield it
38
But scream indelicate(?)
39
Don't fight it, feel it
40
Indie girls dance like quirky little penguins
41
There she goes, fell in love and afraid to befriend him
42
I wish she could've told him that love swayed
43
Or the way she swung her hands by her sides like rollerblades
44
Could've put a British accent on
45
Pashed her in the chorus of a catchy song, yeah
46
With the charm of a trashy Pom,
47
I'm like: "˜Hello love wanna snog? '
48
These girls in knee length socks did not dance like I did
49
Did not dance indie, kid
50
Did not dance like me
51
In Fred Berry shirts these guys did not dance like I did
52
Did not dance Brit-pop, kid
53
Did not dance like me
54
So what ya, what ya, what ya want?
55
Grab my skateboard from the cloak room
56
Found Kings Cross with her legs wide open
57
What kind of trouble could a kid get his nose in
58
When the best of the * is * as part of Sydney blows in
59
I was never caught by the "˜fuzz'
60
When I was on a buzz
61
A bit before I dabbled with drugs
62
Pills, thrills, belly aches, * and *
63
Whatever it takes to medicate, please this week, uh
64
I did a bit I admit I wasn't not innocent
65
I didn't fit in but I felt magnificent
66
Banging in my eardrums differently
67
Like I got a new set of antennas for me there just to listen(?)
68
I look back, realise what it meant to me
69
Why I write hooks and melodies
70
I'm part of their legacy, but I never did get her next to me
71
I guess that was for the best
72
God damn
73
These girls in knee length socks did not dance like I did
74
Did not dance indie, kid
75
Did not dance like me
76
In Fred Berry shirts these guys did not dance like I did
77
Did not dance Brit-pop, kid
78
Did not dance like me
79
(So what ya, what ya, what ya want?)
80
These girls in knee length socks did not dance like I did
81
Did not dance indie, kid
82
Did not dance like me
83
In Fred Berry shirts these guys did not dance like I did
84
Did not dance Brit-pop, kid
85
Did not dance like me
86
(So what ya, what ya, what ya want?)
