Saint Etienne - Teenage Winter lyrics
[Saint Etienne - Teenage Winter lyrics]
Pedal bin, washing-up rack, Sandtex
And she goes to the baker's to buy a loaf
Ah, she keeps forgetting it's changed
Into the Tropicana tanning salon
And in the charity shop
Mrs brown sit's at the counter
Pricing down some old stock
The Moon's a Balloon, two copies of
Every Loser Wins, Noel's Blobbyland
Deluxe edition there's not much left on
The doorstep recently
Something to do with eBay, Johnny reckons
He's bidding on it now
For a Subbuteo catalogue, '81-'82
He'll win it, put it in a drawer
And forget he ever bought it
Holding on to something
And not knowing
Exactly what you're waiting for
Now teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream forever
Phone rings in Gary's flat
"Can I speak to Mr g staid, please"
He hangs up and takes Tony the milk
"See you in the Hat and Fan at seven"
Gary can't believe the Claremont
Road pitch is
Going to be covered in executive housing
He talks about the Newcastle
Game, Boncho's debut, but
Tony can hardly hear him
They took the jukebox out
And the Aussie bar staff are playing
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
He tells him what he thinks
He manages to keep it clean
Buys another round
Holding on to something
And not knowing
Exactly what you're waiting for
Now teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream forever
Now teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream forever
Now teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream forever
Now teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream forever
Mums with pushchairs outside Sainsbury's
Tears in their eyes
They'll never buy a Gibb
Brothers record again
Their old 45s gathering dust
The birthday cards they couldn't
Face throwing away
Teenage winter coming down
Teenage winter coming down
