Teenage Winter
Amy checks the shopping list Pedal bin, washing-up racks, Santex And she goes to the baker's to buy a loaf Aaaah, 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 left 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 Stead, please?) SongtexteHe hangs up and takes Tony the milk See you in the 'Hat & Fan' at 7? Gary can't believe the Claremont Road pitch Is going to be covered in executive housing He talks about the Newcastle game, Bontcho's debut but Tony can hardly hear him They took the jukebox out And the Aussie barstaff are playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers He tells 'em what he thinks, he manages to keep it clean He 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 Mums with pushchairs outside Sainsbury's With tears in their eyes They'll never buy a Gibb Brothers record again Their old 45's gathering dust With the birthday cards they couldn't face throwing away Teenage winter coming down Teenage winter coming down Aus Songtexte Mania
