Saint Etienne Lyrics

"Teenage Winter" lyrics



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?)
He 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
