They weren't very good they were rubbish
Running round Highroyds isn't fun
Just teenagers testing their courage
Standing outside nightclubs in the snow
Not very cool or impressive
They let in all the girls from the year below
No need for id's with those dresses
Got news from afar
From a girl who knows who we are
Shes still got my dinner money
She can keep it
Never had a fight that we haven't lost
Not very tough or athletic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock
When he gets out I'll regret it
Got keys to a car
Picked up a girl from Boston Spa
Fast food and cinema
It's not worth it
Got word from down south
Well he'd heard about us word of mouth
We haven't much stayed in touch
Since Highroyds
Let it go, let it go and if I'm running I won't know
Cos no ones gonna tell you but a friend
He's gone and he is gone and everybody went along
And nobody was left here in the end
Got news from Uncle Hew
Through a second cousin once removed
It's too late there's a housing estate
It's called Highroyds
Got a text from an ex
She wants to know when we're in London next
Will you write a song about me
I don't think so
I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Standing outside nightclubs in the snow Not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for id's with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are Shes still got my dinner money She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven't lost Not very tough or athletic Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock When he gets out I'll regret it Got keys to a car Picked up a girl from Boston Spa Fast food and cinema It's not worth it Got word from down south Well he'd heard about us word of mouth We haven't much stayed in touch Since Highroyds Let it go, let it go and if I'm running I won't know Cos no ones gonna tell you but a friend He's gone and he is gone and everybody went along And nobody was left here in the end Got news from Uncle Hew Through a second cousin once removed It's too late there's a housing estate It's called Highroyds Got a text from an ex She wants to know when we're in London next Will you write a song about me I don't think so Explain Request ×
