Highroyds - Kaiser Chiefs

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

Hanging outside nightclubs in the snow

Not very cool or impressive

They let in all the girls from the year below

No need for ID’s with those dresses

Got news from afar

From a girl who knows who we are

Still got my dinner money

She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven’t lost

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

Fast food and cinema

It’s not worth it Got word from down south

He’d heard about us word of mouth

We haven’t much stayed in touch

Since Highroyds

Let it go, let it go Cos no ones gonna tell you but a friend

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 ??

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
