John's Gay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've learnt to kick a ball,
but we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay...
He's gay
And Janet's friends with John
and she says that we're all scum
He just gets his homework done
and won't play not today What will we grow up to be
(ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen Martin grew out of his A-team vest
Nicked the pedals off my BMX
And he says that he's had sex
with a girl, for effect
I lost my virginity,
the year above us had discovered E
And I said it weren't for me, £12.50 What will we grow up to be
(ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me
fourteen, fifteen We hide in bandstands and talk in the dark
Rain's never cold when you're young
We were devoted to us from the start
I know too much how to feel ...
YOUNG! We've learnt to kick a ball,
and we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay...
He's gay What will we grow up to be
(ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me
fourteen, fifteen What will we grow up to be
(ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me
fourteen, fifteen YOUNG!(B-Side of the single "Kids")
