Teenage Winter-Saint Etienne

Amy checks the shopping list Pedal bin washing-up rack Sandtex And she goes to the baker's to buy a loaf Ah she keeps forgetting it's changed into the Tropicana tanning salon And in the charity shop Mrs. Brown sits at the counter Pricing down some old stock The Moon's a Balloon two copies of Every Loser Wins Noel's Blobbyland deluxe edition There's not much on the doorstep recently Something to do with eBay Johnny reckons He's bidding on it now for a Subbuteo catalogue '81-'82 He'll win it put it in a drawer and forget he ever bought it Holding on To something And not knowing Exactly what you're waiting for Now Teenage winter's coming down Teenage winter throws a gown Over every place I've been And every little dream Forever Phone rings in Gary's flat "Can I speak to Mr. G. Staid please" He hangs up and takes Tony the milk "See you in the Hat and Fan at seven" Gary can't believe the Claremont Road pitch is going to be covered in executive housing He talks about the Newcastle game Boncho's debut but Tony can hardly hear him They took the jukebox out and the Aussie bar staff are playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers He tells him what he thinks He manages to keep it clean Buys another round Holding on To something And not knowing Exactly what you're waiting for Now Teenage winter's coming down Teenage winter throws a gown Over every place I've been And every little dream Forever Now Teenage winter's coming down Teenage winter throws a gown Over every place I've been And every little dream Forever Now Teenage winter's coming down Teenage winter throws a gown Over every place I've been And every little dream Forever Now Teenage winter's coming down Teenage winter throws a gown Over every place I've been And every little dream Forever Mums with pushchairs outside Sainsbury's Tears in their eyes They'll never buy a Gibb Brothers record again Their old 45s gathering dust The birthday cards they couldn't face throwing away Teenage winter coming down Teenage winter coming down
