Highroyds - Live In Berlin / 2007 - Kaiser Chiefs

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

Is not very cool or impressive

They let in all the girls from the year below

No need for IDs 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

But 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 the cinema

It's not worth it

Got word from down south

Well, Ian heard about us word of mouth

Haven't much stayed in touch

Since Highroyds

Let it go, let it go and if I'm running I won't know

'Cause no one's gonna tell you but a friend

But he's gone and he is gone and everybody went along

And nobody was left here in the end

Got news from Uncle Hew

Through a second cousin once removed

It's 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

Will you write a song about me

I don't think so
