Picking up the story from where I left off it's 1990 now so school can **** off
I got no GCSEs nothing higher than a D
I couldn't tell me mum because she'd batter me
Me and ?? sat on the bowling green life is a ****
We had five quid between us bought us six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home and I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me mum maybe I'll tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door and said "Mum it's like this."
She said "That man's been on the phone and you've made the list!
You're in that boy band son come and giz a kiss!"
Phoned up Martin and Rich and carried on getting ****
"Boys I don't believe it I'm gonna be famous!
Pick you up in a Porsche and buy you lots of trainers."
I met the other guys one seemed like a ****
I think it's gonna be like New Kids on The Block
I can't be bothered cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and it's crazy baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are baby?
I adopted four brothers some I liked more than others
One was like a brother from another mother
But the lead singer made it hard to like him
And I still loved him to spite him
The first three months you know I nearly quit
I played snooker with me dad he said "Don't be a ****!
Unload the bullets your mind is a gun
You're gonna shoot yourself when they're number one!"
I can't be bothered cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and it's crazy baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are baby?
Now it's dinner with Versace lunch with Princess Diana
And I'm gonna get battered if I go out with ??
Because as much as we were loved we were also hated
The boys got jealous cuz the girls got ??
Now we're famous and that and we're dancing and that
And I'm thinking "I can't see! Why am I stood at the back?"
So **** the band give me some ??
So now we're all a bag of nerves and not a band of brothers
I can't be bothered cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and it's crazy baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are baby?
And now it's breaking my heart because the dream's turned to ****
It ain't broke but I'll break it in a little bit
And I'm always in trouble but I've stopped saying sorry
Everybody's worried "What the ****'s wrong with Robbie?
He's not answering his phone he's not talking to me
I saw him on the telly at Glastonbury."
And now I'm running away from everything that I've been
And I'm **** and I'm **** and I'm only nineteen
I can't perform no more I can't perform no more
But the boys know I'm **** and so they show me the door
And if truth be told I wasn't fit enough to stay
So I put me head down and walked away.
That was the 90s; 90 to 95
I can't be bothered cuz I'm lazy
I hate those that hate me
I can't forgive and it's crazy baby
Now I'm a video star
Do you know who you are baby?
