Kaiser Chiefs - Highroyds lyrics

I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Standing outside nightclubs in the snow Us not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for ID's with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are She's still got my dinner money She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven't lost Not very tough or athletic Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock When he gets out I'll regret it Got keys to a car Picked up a girl from Boston Spa For fast food and cinema It's not worth it Got word from down south Well he had heard about it word of mouth Haven't much stayed in touch Since Highroyds Let it go and let it go And if I'm wrong then I won't know Cos no one's gonna tell me but a friend He has gone and Ian's gone And everybody went along And nobody was left here in the end Got news from Uncle Hugh Through a second cousin once removed Too late there's a housing estate It's called Highroyds Got a text from an ex She wants to know when we're in London next "And will you write a song about me?" I don't think so
