Picking up the story from where I left off It's 1990 now So school can fu.ck off I got no GCSEs, nothing higher than a 'D' I couldn't tell me Mum because she'd batter me
Me and Tate sat on the bowling green Life was a sh.itter We had five quid between us And 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'd tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door I 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' us 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 going to be like New Kids On The Block
I can't be bothered 'cause I'm lazy (I only wanted to get down) I hate those that hate me I can't forgive and it's crazy Baby Now I'm a video star (I'm making trouble in this town) Do you know who you are? (For the five of us) 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 despite him The first three months you know I nearly quit I played snooker with my Dad he said "Don't be a dick Unload the bullets you're mind is a gun You're gonna shoot yourself when they're number one"
I can't be bothered 'cause I'm lazy (I only wanted to get down) I hate those that hate me I can't forgive and it's crazy Baby Now I'm a video star (I'm making trouble in this town) Do you know who you are (For the five of us) Baby
Now it's dinner with Versace And lunch with Princess Diana And I'm gonna get belted if I go out of my manor Cause as much as we were loved We were also hated The boys got jealous Cause the girls got plated
And now we're famous and that and we're dancing and that And I think that I can sing why have I stood at the back So fu.ck the band give me Sambuka and gak
Now we're all a bag of nerves Were not a band of brothers
I can't be bothered 'cause I'm lazy (I only wanted to get down) I hate those that hate me I can't forgive and it's crazy Baby Now I'm a video star (I'm making trouble in this town) Do you know who you are? (For the five of us) Baby
And now it's breaking my heart because the dream's turned to sh.it 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 fu.ck'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 fu.cked and I'm only nineteen I can't conform no more I can't perform no more
But the boys know I'm fu.cked and so they show me the door And if the truth be told I wasn't fit enough to stay So I put my head down and walked away
That was the 90's 90 to 95
I can't be bothered 'cause I'm lazy (I only wanted to get down) I hate those that hate me I can't forgive and it's crazy Baby Now I'm a video star (I'm making trouble in this town) Do you know who you are (For the five of us) Baby
