We've learnt to kick a ball
But we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay
He's gay

And Janet's friends with John
And she says that we're all scum
He just gets his homework done
And won't play, not today, what will we grow up to be
(Ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(Can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me

Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen Martin grew out of his A-Team vest
Nicked the pedals off my BMX
And he says that he's had sex
With a girl, for effect

I lost my virginity
The year above us had discovered
And I said it weren't for me, £12.50, what will we grow up to be
(Ask your brother)
What will we grow up to see
(Can't be bothered)
Will you still be friends with me

Fourteen, fifteen, we hide in bandstands and talk in the dark
Rain's never cold when you're young
We were devoted to us from the start
I know too much how to feel
Young!
