Come out of the darkness you're not alone!
Come out of the darkness you're not alone!
Hey Jackie don't look down
Jump up to the Lo-Fi sound
You're still the coolest girl in town
We are the Lo-Fi kids
We buy our singles still
7 inch vinyl what a thrill
I'll meet you at the till, cos
We are the Lo-Fi kids
We are all the Lo-Fi kids
We are all the Lo-Fi kids
Hey Jackie it's ok
Together we will stay
And dance the night away
We are the Lo-Fi kids
We won't do what we've been told
We don't buy the lies we're sold
We just want complete control
We are the Lo-Fi kids
We are all the Lo-Fi kids
We are all the Lo-Fi kids
We are the Lo-Fi kids that live down your street
We are the Lo-Fi kids that jump on the beat
We are the Lo-Fi kids you'll never defeat

Day-Glo Dreams
03:14
|

Let's take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams
And if we're lucky good things will come to stay
You and me and our Day-Glo dreams
There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok
In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams
We were the useless kids from the hard estates
Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream
And you can't take that away
We lived in a house with broken windows, on the wrong side of the street
The clothes we wore were old and torn, but our hair was clean and neat
And the kids were waiting outside the shops to knock us off our feet
And all we had was Day-Glo Dreams!
Lets take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams
And if we're lucky good things will come to stay
You and me and our Day-Glo dreams
There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok
In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams
We were the useless kids from the hard estates
Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream
And you can't take that away
Never had expectations, they were things we could never own
Stood outside the school gates, never felt so alone
And we took a long look at the kids in there
And we caught the first bus home
All we had was Day-Glo Dreams!

Shy Girl
03:20
|

When I see that boy walk by
He's kind of slim, kind of tall, kind of just my type
All the girls say he's really shy... shy!
If I could find some courage yeah, then I could just be myself
The boy is always on my mind, I don't wanna be with no one else
Now I've fallen for a shy boy, what a dumb thing to do
Cos he'll never be my boy
Cos I'm just a shy girl too!
When I see that boy walk by
There's a feeling I get that can't be denied
It's like a heartache that won't subside
If I could find some courage yeah, then I could just be myself
The boy is always on my mind, I don't wanna be with no one else
Now I've fallen for a shy boy, what a dumb thing to do
Cos he'll never be my boy
Cos I'm just a shy girl too!
I put the milk bottles out, as you were passing my house
I didn't know what to say
My feet wouldn't move, so what else could I do
I just turned and I looked away
And I started beating up myself
I can't blame anyone else
I'm useless and there's no defence
I need to buy a bag of confidence

My Imagination
03:21
|

Space age boy with Day-Glo hair
Always on the move
Keep feeling fascination, can you feel it too?
My feet don't touch the floor, in automatic mode
It's just my imagination going into overload
Standing on the stage with The Runaways behind me
Flying through the stars about to lose control
Taking a chance on a boy you love so madly
Everyday it's just the same, I let my imagination go!
Space age girl with golden locks
Walking down the street
We've just anointed her the leader of the beat
Makes me feel so determined, makes me feel alive
Sends my imagination flying into overdrive!
Standing on the stage with The Runaways behind me
Flying through the stars about to lose control
Taking a chance on a boy you love so madly
Everyday it's just the same, I let my imagination go!

Spin Those Records

Standing on the corner of the avenue
In your skinny red jeans hey you looked so cool!
Hey boy you better fall in love
Hey boy you better fall in love with me!
We can take a walk in Central Park
I'm Sheila E and your The Belle Of St. Mark
Hey boy you better fall in love
Hey boy you better fall in love with me!
We'll spin the disco ball
To Michael Jackson's Off The Wall
We will dance until we fall
Cos there's nothing left to do but...
Spin those records round and round
Play them loud I love that sound
Culture Club, fall in love, hey boy you better fall in love with me!
Spin those records round and round
Gotta love that big bass sound
Playing Dare everywhere, hey boy you better fall in love with me!
I'm just the girl for a safety dance
If your feeling lucky you could take a chance on me
Hey boy you better fall in love
Hey boy you better fall in love with me!
We could catch a bus and go to town
You can hold my hand till the sun goes down
Hey boy you better fall in love
Hey boy you better fall in love with me!
Spin those records round!

Our Mum And Dad
02:47
|

Our mum and dad, they look straight down the lens
In funny flared trousers on the banks of the Thames
On holiday June 75
They met in a youth club by the stadium gates
Dad built new houses for George Wimpey Estates
That's where he first learnt his trade
And his hands were full of blisters blood and dirt
And his life was set in love and faith and work
Our mum I see her outside the school gates
Looking all anxious if we come out too late
Oh to have her arms around me now!
She worked part-time, 3 days a week at the bank
Saving us bottle tops and Green Shield stamps
That damn Ted Heath he don’t understand
I can see you hanging washing on the line
I can hear your laughter every Christmas time
Our mum and dad they turned older and grey
I watched Margaret Thatcher take their jobs away
Our mum said she could try the patience of a Saint
The 90s flew by and dad moved to his chair
Mum left the choir, as she couldn't get there
And nobody came to the house
And we pin our hopes on things that are so frail
We try so hard but fabulously fail...

Atomic
03:42

Two hearts beat as one
School's out, and summer's just begun
What a feeling I get
I think our futures are set
I'll meet you outside The Spar
When I have finished my tea
I'd better watch no ones following me
Don't tell your mum and I won't tell my dad
That when we are together it all goes atomic
Just take my hand cos they won't understand that
When we are together, our world turns atomic
Two hearts beat as one
The story of our lives has just begun
They'll never keep us apart
We made this vow from the start
I'll meet you down by the subway with my heart on my sleeve
I'll be sure nobody's following me
Don't tell your mum and I won't tell my dad
That when we are together it all goes atomic
Just take my hand cos they won't understand that
When we are together, our world turns atomic
Stood on the steps, of the town hall this morning
Watching the buses go by
And I wish I could be, like the people around me
With nothing to fear or hide
Two hearts beat as one
The hurtful things they said can't be undone
There's nothing left for us here
They made it perfectly clear
I'll meet you down by the station where the coaches all leave
I'll make sure, nobody's following me
Don't tell your mum and I won't tell my dad
That when we are together it all goes atomic
Just take my hand cos they won't understand that
When we are together, our world turns atomic

Don't forget about this town!
The Milk bottles are smashed up
They are all over the pavements
The postman steals the rent cheques
But leaves you with the statements
And all around town, more shops are closing down every weekend
And I'm staying on the bus with you
Cos there's nothing else we can do!
Don't forget about this town!
The houses by the school yard
Some of them got burnt down
There's fighting on the promenade
And needles in the playground
And all around town more shops are closing down every weekend!
There's a boy over there with his girl
And they look so in love and it's beautiful
Don't forget about this town!
Shall we walk together now, and hold hands in the park
We can sit by the bowling green and stay there till it's dark
There's panic at the disco
Flowers in the cemetery
There's fighting down at bingo
And queuing outside A + E
And all around town more shops are closing down every weekend!
And I'm staying on the bus with you
Cos there's nothing else we can do
Don't forget about this town!

J.Pop

Stands in the street salutes the east and shouts japanese pop
Lives in a world of Harajuku Girls and japanese pop
Her alarm goes off, and she's out of the blocks to japanese pop
Riding the bus with her iPod Touch playing japanese pop
Connect yourself to the neon world full of super Kawaii fun
Look east and jump to the beat from the land of the rising sun!
Hey Tokyo, I can hear you calling me
Hey Tokyo, this is where I want to be
Hey Tokyo, through the airwaves coming near
I am receiving you, loud and clear
She cleans her teeth to the sonic beat, of japanese pop
Goes to school and her bags are full of japanese pop
Out in the street where her friends all meet it's always japanese pop
Late at night when the stars shine bright it's still japanese pop
Connect yourself to the neon world full of super Kawaii fun
Look east and jump to the beat from the land of the rising sun!
Hey Tokyo, I can hear you calling me
Hey Tokyo, this is where I want to be
Hey Tokyo, through the airwaves coming near
I am receiving you, loud and clear
I'm flying in tonight to Tokyo
I'm flying in tonight
All I hear is the J Pop Pop sound, going around
Now I'm Tokyo bound
Hey Tokyo, I can hear you calling me
Hey Tokyo, this is where I want to be
Hey Tokyo, through the airwaves coming near
I am receiving you

You And Stacy
03:21

Turn up the synth and the linn drum beat
The strobe lights flash when you move your feet
You left school in 1980, you never went to university
Got a flat on the 13th floor, and a job at the Virgin Megastore
And every weekend you and Stacy, were living it up in the 1980s
Your mum and dad said you better settle down
Find the sweetest boy you can in town
But you were the girls with the Day-Glo dreams
Never liked the boys in the stonewashed jeans
Stacy said
We buy our clothes at C + A, and we cut them up so they look ok
We don't care what our friends all say, cos we look fantastic anyway!
Turn up the synth and the linn drum beat
The strobe lights flash when you move your feet
You left school in 1980, you never went to University
Got a flat on the 13th floor, and a job at the Virgin Megastore
And every weekend you and Stacy, were living it up in the 1980s
Your mum and dad tell you what to do
But you were young and tough and independent too
You were the girls in the bus stop every night
You were the girls coming home in the morning light
Stacy said
We took ideas from The Face, on clothes and make up, music taste
We kept our lipstick in a case with a master plan for our escape!
Turn up the synth and the linn drum beat
The strobe lights flash when you move your feet
You left school in 1980, you never went to university
Got a flat on the 13th floor, and a job at the Virgin Megastore
And every weekend you and Stacy, were living it up in the 1980s
One day like a bolt out of the blue
You met a boy you never expected to
5 years later and you're back at school
With your own little girl walking right next to you
Ironing clothes, or down the shops
Buying Fairy liquid and Co Co Pops
Cleaning shoes and finding socks
Oh just for one day let's turn back the clocks and...

Teenage Soap Opera

The 5 o'clock alarm and your mother's downstairs
The radio's on as she's cleaning round the chairs
Got to get ready for the bus at eight
She's on a final written warning so she can't be late
You better get yourself off to school now
Or you won't get there at all...
You're starring in a...
Teenage heartbreak soap opera
Your brother's in the mirror counting spots again
He used to have 25, now he's got 10
You can't find your books and your homework's late
And the vitamins your mother left, you forgot to take
You left your coat by the back door
And the cat slept in it all night
And your best friend texted to tell you
That you're going to get in a fight
You're starring in a...
Teenage heartbreak soap opera
A tale of loss and how the world forgot you
A teenage heartbreak soap opera
A standing ovation picking up an Oscar
There's cellotape marks on your bedroom wall
From the pictures you made when you were small
Your computer still runs on Windows 98
And your dad don’t care because he thinks it's great
School's out early cos the heating's gone down
You can't go home so you go to town
Looking at the faces of the people so sad
Hoping that your life won't turn out that bad
You're running out of expectations
They were never even really high
And you're looking for an explanation
For the way that you feel inside
You're starring in a...
Teenage heartbreak soap opera
A tale of loss and how the world forgot you
A teenage heartbreak soap opera
A standing ovation picking up an Oscar
