1. KIDS

Me no bubbletious
Me smoke heavy tar
Me be groovin' slowly where you are
Notify your next of kin
'Cause you're never coming back
I've been dropping beats since Back in Black
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright
You've got a reputation
Well I guess that can be explored
You're dancing with the chairman of the board
Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(Doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
Come down from the ceiling
I didn't mean to get so high
I couldn't do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can't just up and leave me
I'm a singer in a band
Well I like drummers baby
You're not my bag
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
I'm an honorary Sean Connery, born '74
There's only one of me
Single-handedly raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the record company dropping me
Press be asking do I care for sodomy
I don't know, yeah, probably
I've been looking for serial monogamy
Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly
But for now I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars, come follow me


2. JOHN'S GAY

We've learnt to kick a ball, but we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay He's gay
And Janet's friends with John and she says that we're all Scum
He just gets his homework done and won't play not today

What will we grow up to be
What will we grow up to see
Will you still be friends with me fourteen, fifteen, sixteen

Martin grew out of his A-team vest
And nicked the pedals off my Bmx
And he says that he's had sex with a girl, for effect
I lost my virginity, the year above us had discovered E
And I said it weren't for me, twelve pounds, fifty

What will we grow up to be
What will we grow up to see
Will you still be friends with me fourteen, fifteen

We hide in bandstands and talk in the dark
Rain's never cold when you're young
We were devoted to us from the start
I know too much how to feel ... young

We've learnt to kick a ball, and we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay He's gay
What will we grow up to be
What will we grow up to see
Will you still be friends with me fourteen, fifteen

What will we grow up to be
What will we grow up to see
Will you still be friends with me fourteen, fifteen ... Young
