Buzzcocks: 16 Again

Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten Just like I was sixteen again Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte I don't know Things in life are not played for keeps If it makes you happy it'll make you weep And if you want some more practical advice If you can't think once then don't think twice Cos things won't seem so nice You'll wish you were sixteen again Oh no Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again Things don't seem the same the past is so plain This future is our future this time's not a game This time you're sixteen again Always on your own when there's nobody else Asking myself would I be someone else But after all life's only death's recompense I don't know Things in life are not played for keeps If it makes you happy it'll make you weep And if you want some more practical advice If you can't think once then don't think twice Cos things won't seem so nice You'll wish you were sixteen again Oh no [SOLO] Look at me here I am for your eyes Mirrored proof of what you recognize I know I never will feel quite like you And I know you won't treat me right till I do But at least we'll know it's true That we're sixteen again Oh no Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again Things don't seem the same the past is so plain This future is our future this time's not a game This time you're sixteen again Always on your own when there's nobody else Asking myself would I be someone else But after all life's only death's recompense I don't know Look at me here I am for your eyes Mirrored proof of love's suicide I know I never will feel quite like you And I know you won't treat me right till I do But at least we'll know it's true That we're sixteen again Oh no Sixteen again Sixteen again
