Picking up the story
from where I left off
it's 1990 now
so school can fuck off
I got no GCSEs
nothing higher than a D
I couldn't tell me mum
because she'd batter me
Me and ? sat on the bowling
green life is a shitter
We had five quid between us
bought us six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home
and I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me mum
maybe I'll tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door
and said
Mum it's like this
She said
That man's been on the phone
and you've made the list
You're in that boy band son
come and giz a kiss
Phoned up Martin and Rich
and carried on getting pissed
Boys I don't believe it
I'm gonna be famous
Pick you up in a Porsche
and buy you lots of trainers
I met the other guys
one seemed like a cock
I think it's gonna be like
New Kids on The Block
I can't be bothered
cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and
it's crazy
baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are
baby
I adopted four brothers
some I liked more than others
One was like a brother from
another mother
But the lead singer
made it hard to like him
And I still loved him
to spite him
The first three months
you know I nearly quit
I played snooker with me
dad he said Don't be a dick
Unload the bullets
your mind is a gun
You're gonna shoot yourself
when they're number one
I can't be bothered
cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and
it's crazy
baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are
baby
Now it's dinner with Versace
lunch with Princess Diana
And I'm gonna get battered
if I go out with ?
Because as much as
we were loved
we were also hated
The boys got jealous
cuz the girls got ?
Now we're famous and that
and we're dancing and that
And I'm thinking I can't see
Why am I stood at the back
So fuck the band
give me some ?
now we're all a bag of nerves
and not a band of brothers
I can't be bothered
cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and
it's crazy
baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are
baby
And now it's breaking my heart
because the dream's turned
to shit It ain't
broke but I'll break it
in a little bit
And I'm always in trouble
but I've stopped saying sorry
Everybody's worried What the
fuck's wrong with Robbie
He's not answering his phone
he's not talking to me
I saw him on the telly
at Glastonbury
And now I'm running away
from everything that I've been
And I'm pissed and I'm fucked
and I'm only nineteen
I can't perform no more
I can't perform no more
But the boys know I'm fucked
and so they show me the door
And if truth be told
I wasn't fit enough to stay
So I put me head down
and walked away
That was the 90's
90 to 95
I can't be bothered
cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and
it's crazy
baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are
baby
