Had a band once 
Bass and drums 
I sang and played piano 
Craig played guitar 
Always knew the tunes 
Had the records made tapes 
Kept dates 
Never fell over once 

Once when we were in the car 
Listening back smiling 
We felt surrounded by stars 

Hey Craig do you still wear your guitar 
Hanging down about your knees 
Do you still throw up your window 
To let out the old year 

I remember once someone letting off fireworks 
You out your window 
Wondering where the war was 
Bought a jacket scrolled 
With Rock and Roll I never wore 
You took it everywhere 
Moved your sister's stuff in a van 
Your mum drove us home again 

Hey Craig the kids are growing up 
You can be young again 
Hey Craig let's say "the Shields is gallus" 
One more time again 
Hey Craig we'll stop the car now 
And check the trees again 
Hey Craig we'll do what we did badly 
And do it bad again 
Bad again 
And I'll come back again 
Bad again 
And I'll come back again 

Put this on an old tape 
Lush were still bleeding through 
Thought you'd understand that 
It should have happened on this tape too
