You tied the knot A legend is what you bought I give you cold water and you Swear it was wine You bought time If you can fool yourself, then why not them? Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth You tied the knot A legend is what you bought I give you cold water and you Swear it was wine You bought time If you can fool yourself, then why not them? Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth I can dress up the dead man But I can't bring him back to life You tied the knot Peeled your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves I give you a wet noodle, you swear that it was my tongue A sharp one Instead of that same old mouth to mouth to mouth to mouth I can dress up the dead man But I can't bring him back to life

Jimmy got nothing made himself a name With a gun that he polished for a rainy day A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie Our boy Jimmy Just blew them all away He said it made him crazy Twenty five years living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep She needs her mother but her mother is dead Just another hooker that the lucky can forget Just another hooker It happens everyday She loved her little baby But she couldn't bear to see her living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth I believe in the Gods of America America, America I believe in the land of the free The free, the free But no one told me No one told me That the Gods believe in nothing So with empty hands I pray And from day to hopeless day They still don't see me See me Everybody talks about the new generation Jump on the wagon Or they'll leave you behind But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation Like to help you buddy but I haven't got the time Somebody shouted save me Everybody started living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth There's a big white lady on a big white doorstep She asked her daddy and her daddy said, yes Has to give a little for the dollars that we get Has to give a little They say it's for the best Somebody shouted maybe Kept on living from hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth So she ran to the arms of America America, America And she kissed the powers that be And someone told me Someone told me That the Gods believe in nothing So with empty hands I pray And I tell myself one day They just might see me... They just might see me...

I had no cares in the 1990's I knew of no downfalls Though war was breaking out all around me My concerns were with prank calls She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek Right in front of the older kids When our self belief, our self belief Wasn't scarred by the modern itch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 So hard to beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996 We were cloning sheep in the 1990's We were building telescopes And sugar filled the whole of my body As I urged it on to grow I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek Just to impress the older kids But my self belief, my self belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 Stop talking, stop talking (ah-ah-ah-ah) I need a lover, not a friend tonight I'm leaving, I'm leaving (ah-ah-ah-ah) I'm not cut out for the modern life I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996
