Happy birthday Nicola, My regards to your mother. Happy birthday Nicola, May you have many others. You don't know me, But I've watched you grow breasts from afar, For so long.
Chorus Listen to the old generation, We are here to help you through. If you need some information, I can help you. Listen to the old generation, We are here to help you through. If we'd used some contraception I wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't be you.
Long ago, There was a club in the city centre. Long ago, In the bar that's where I met her. But I never thought I'd see, What I have in front of me....today.
Chorus
Here's to the children, of fumbling in the dark. Underneath the piles of coats, behind the railings in the park. I was so eager to be a man, that I really couldn't see, you'd be asking me one day for a lifetime of love and 16 years of pocket money.
