Remember those days - the early 90s? We both applied for places at the same university Ended up in London where we needed to be to follow our obsession with the music scene Wherever we went whatever we did we knew the songs
They called us the Pop Kids ’cause we loved the pop hits and quoted the best bits so we were the Pop Kids I loved you I loved you They called us the Pop Kids
I studied history while you did biology To you the human body didn’t hold any mystery We were young but imagined we were so sophisticated Telling everyone we knew that rock was overrated We stayed out ’til late five nights a week and felt so chic
They called us the Pop Kids ’cause we loved the pop hits and quoted the best bits so we were the Pop Kids I loved you I loved you They called us the Pop Kids
(Remember those days? Remember those days?)
It was a wet Wednesday night We worried that no one would be going out How wrong we were! When we turned the corner there was already a queue stretching down the street We swept straight in and you said: \"Ooh, I like it here! Ooh, I love it! Ooh, I like it here! Ooh, I love it! Ooh, I like it here! Ooh, I love it! Ooh, I like it here! Ooh, I am never going home\"
And when the music dropped we liked the pop And given half a chance we wanted to dance
I loved you
I am never going home I am never going home
Many years have passed now and you're someone to be reckoned with You work in California as a clinical biologist Me, I'm writing stuff about the global situation but we don't forget the debt we owe to our pop education Wherever we are Whatever we do We know the songs
They called us the Pop Kids (And when the music dropped) ’cause we loved the pop hits (we liked the pop) and quoted the best bits (And given half a chance) so we were the Pop Kids (we wanted to dance) I loved you
And when the music dropped we liked the pop I loved you And given half a chance we wanted to dance
They called us the Pop Kids ’cause we loved the pop hits and quoted the best bits so we were the Pop Kids I loved you
