It's tough to stay attractive baby With your tongue upsailing down my neck It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept It's tough to maintain focus baby Now all my elephants are in the room We crave the fiction when we need the truth You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse It's tough to feign indifference baby Now I'm spending all the money I have Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky I blame what happened everytime we're under neon lights We crave the tension in a room with a view You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse And all these emoticons and words Fail to make it better their attempts just make it worse It's everything I want and nothing I can keep And behind these metaphors I want you literally We crave the fiction when we need the truth You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse But I like it here so much I might stay The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place

I had no cares in the 1990's I knew of no downfalls Though war was breaking out all around me My concerns were with prank calls She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek Right in front of the older kids When our self belief, our self belief Wasn't scarred by the modern itch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 So hard to beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996 We were cloning sheep in the 1990's We were building telescopes And sugar filled the whole of my body As I urged it on to grow I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek Just to impress the older kids But my self belief, my self belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 Stop talking, stop talking (ah-ah-ah-ah) I need a lover, not a friend tonight I'm leaving, I'm leaving (ah-ah-ah-ah) I'm not cut out for the modern life I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996

It's all kicking off again Words buzz but certainly don't sink in The rain hits the tiles on the bathroom floor Hissing little rattlesnake All fired up and ultimately afraid So slam the door Cos baby when you talk like that The pain moves from my chest to my lower back Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?
