These Are the Songs - Bashy, Jareth

Look, I don’t smoke the reefa

Back in the day, Alizé was a creeper

I used to rock Patrick Cox and Ben Sherman like a geezer

I was a little man, chocolate boy and the girls knew the sugar was sweeter

See everybody like «Pow!», I was like «oi!», and that’ll be my summer of love

Fly by like I had a love bug

I was some sort of Romeo, she said you’re no good for me, but I’m never gonna

let you go

It was doolally, and that’s straight from the heart

Back in the day the raves were so cold, you would have thought it was an eskimo

dance

Before there was grime, the only songs we would find were taped from the radio

to memorise

Recalling all these memories

I can recall all those memories

DJ playing the songs we’re feeling

And we won’t stop until he’s finished

Although I sound a little off-key

These are the songs we used to sing

So let the DJ play all the songs we’re feeling

Cause we won’t stop until he’s finished

Although I sound a little off-key

These are the songs we used to sing

Re-re-wind, when the crowd said bo--

We used to celebrate life

Now you need a little bit of luck to make it through the night

I see a man get -- ooah, ooah -- right before my eyes

Tales of the hood, back then raves were twice as nice

Wore History, Moschino jeans, those were good times

No CD, tape the music in a queue for a rave, like I’ve gotta get through this

No BBs, just a Nokia phone, pay as you go

No cab fare, we had to catch the bus home

I used to roll with a heartless crew, but we were so solid

When I was at college, those were the best days, just being honest

I love you baby, but where’s it gone

This was built for music

These are the songs we used to sing

DJ playing the songs we’re feeling

And we won’t stop until he’s finished

Although I sound a little off-key

These are the songs we used to sing

So let the DJ play all the songs we’re feeling

Cause we won’t stop until he’s finished

Although I sound a little off-key

These are the songs we used to sing
