Mothers

My god! you've always had my back

With a Diet Coke and Mentos pack

We exploded on the Nangreave scene

With dreams bigger than that

Remember when you turned 18

We'd go out, I'd use your ID

Thursday night at 42s was like heaven to me

Our mothers said they were friends back in the '80s

I've seen old photos of them, they wore the same things

There was a time before you had your babies

At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley

Coming in from town

You should hear some of the shit we spout

Drinking gin till you passed out

Lying at your back door step all night

Imagine that now!

Time is gonna get us all

At least we can say we had a ball

When I'm seventy and my accent's changed

'Cause I've been living in New York

Our mothers said they were friends back in the '80s

I've seen old photos of them, they wore the same things

There was a time before you had your babies

At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley

Our mothers said they were friends back in the '80s

I've seen old photos of them they wore the same things

There was a time before you had your babies

At the club, dance to The Smiths and Rick Astley
