Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I turned on the telly when I got home from school
You were there in your wellies and a yellow Cagoule
You opened my eyes to the birds and the bees
I loved you so, My Really Wild Show on BBC
[Verse 2]
Michaela Strachan, you broke my heart
Michaela Strachan, you tore me apart
Michaela Strachan, you broke my heart
When I was twelve
[Verse 3]
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
(It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen)
[Verse 4]
I used to want to be a vet, just so I'd see you one day
You put the meaning in wacaday
[Verse 5]
I found myself working in a shop at sixteen
It never stopped hurting to miss you on TV
I'll always remember all those times that we had
You helped me to sleep, I fancied you heaps, and so did my dad
[Verse 6]
Michaela Strachan, you broke my heart
Michaela Strachan, you tore me apart
Michaela Strachan, you broke my heart
When I was twelve
[Verse 7]
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
(It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen)
[Verse 8]
(It ain't gonna happen, it ain't gonna happen)
(It ain't gonna happen, it ain't gonna happen)
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
(It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen)
It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen
(It ain't gonna happen for me and the Strachen)
[Verse 9]
I used to want to be a vet, just so I'd see you one day
You put the meaning in, you put the meaning in
You put the meaning in Wacaday
You put the meaning in Wacaday
You put the meaning in Wacaday
