Louis Dunford 1999 Lyrics

JVC, Power Rangers, MTV
The concrete sky of British Summer
Blood and dirt on your retro England shirt
Princess Di, The Stone Cold Stunner

Nan's estate, Grandad's on the sofa
"Here's a fiver son, don't tell your mum
So you go and knock for your mates"
We scream, they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage
Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why, we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999 1999

BMX, Biggie, Tupac, VHS
Nicotine wallpaper peeling
We were wrong to think youth would last as long as the asbestos in the ceiling

On Nan's estate Grandad's getting older
Though he shrinks in size his twinkling eye's of china blue remain
We scream, they think it's all over
As we watch our ball like a comet fall
On the wrong side of the cage

Is this life, or are we dreaming?
Did we die in 1999?
Tell me why, we stopped believing
We could fly in 1999
1999
1999
