"1999" lyrics
JVC, Power Rangers, MTV
The concrete sky of British Summer
Blood and dirt on your retro England shirt
Princess Di, The Stone Cold Stunner
Nan's estate, Grandad's on the sofa
Here's a fiver son, don't tell your mum
So you go and knock for your mates
We scream, they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999
'99
BMX, Biggie, Tupac, VHS
Nicotine wallpaper peeling
We were wrong to think youth would last as long
As the asbestos in the ceiling
On Nan's estate granddad's getting older
Though he shrinks in size
His twinkling eyes of china blue remain
Screaming they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999
'99
1999
'99
1999
'99
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
The concrete sky of British Summer
Blood and dirt on your retro England shirt
Princess Di, The Stone Cold Stunner
Nan's estate, Grandad's on the sofa
Here's a fiver son, don't tell your mum
So you go and knock for your mates
We scream, they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999
'99
BMX, Biggie, Tupac, VHS
Nicotine wallpaper peeling
We were wrong to think youth would last as long
As the asbestos in the ceiling
On Nan's estate granddad's getting older
Though he shrinks in size
His twinkling eyes of china blue remain
Screaming they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999
'99
1999
'99
1999
'99
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
