Freddos Aren't 10p
(专辑: I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing - 2017)
When I
was a
kid we only had 4
channels on the
TV, Yep 1,2,3 and 4. And if you couldn't find a
channel that was playing The
Simpsons then you were probably calling for your friend next door. I
remember the
first album that I
bought. I
memorized the
sleeve and I
listened 'til I
was completely over it. But it's sad I
don't remember the
title or the
artist of the
first song I
ever downloaded. I
remember seeing my first mobile phone, And being completely obsessed with Snake, School's biggest threat was calling home. Selling cans for 50p on my lunch break. I
remember when LOL meant 'lots of love', And there wasn't such a
thing as a
selfie. I
remember the
late nineties when suddenly they realized that Pot Noodles weren't healthy. BRB. ASL. D' you remember AOL? D' you remember your dial up connection? Remember MSN and MySpace and Trojan horses, And your pop-up anti-virus protection? Remember the
freedom of coming home from school, And knowing that you only had to do your homework. Able to forget some of the
names that had stuck, Some of the
names that kinda, made you feel hurt. And then you sent a
picture for a
laugh or to that lad, Just to get a
little bit of attention. Now you've just had to explain to your mum and your dad, Why it's on Facebook and in your Twitter mentions. Then you see those names again, Those ones that you hate, Just forever turning up on your timeline. In the
morning you grab your phone and check as soon as you're awake, So it's always gonna be in your eyeline. You got far less time to be a
kid, Matter of fact you probably feel like the
timer has started. So, take some time to fall out with that very best friend you never thought would be the
devil incarnate. Camp on the
hills and forget your tent. Regret every decision that you make at fifteen. Watch the
prices go up in your local shop, I
still can't believe that Freddos are more than 10p!
