Highroyds

I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good, they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Standing outside nightclubs in the snow Is not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for IDs with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are She's still got my dinner money She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven't lost But not very tough or athletic Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock When he gets out I'll regret it Got keys to a car Picked up a girl from Boston Spa For fast food and the cinema It's not worth it Got word from down south Well, Ian heard about us word of mouth Haven't much stayed in touch Since Highroyds Let it go, let it go and if I'm running I won't know 'Cause no one's gonna tell you but a friend But he's gone and he is gone and everybody went along And nobody was left here in the end Got news from Uncle Hew Through a second cousin once removed It's too late there's a housing estate It's called Highroyds Got a text from an ex She wants to know when we're in London next Will you write a song about me I don't think so
