1. Remember those days, the early 90s,

we both applied for places at the same university.

Dm G

Ended up in London where we needed to be

Dm G

to follow our obsession with the music scene.

Dm G Am - G

Wherever we went whatever we did, we knew the songs.

Dm - G Am - G

They called us the Pop Kids ’cause we loved the pop hits,

Dm - G Am - G

and quoted the best bits so we were the Pop Kids.

I loved you ! Ah. Ah.

2. I studied history while you did biology,

Dm G

to you the human body didn’t hold any mystery.

Dm G

We were young but imagined we were so sophisticated,

Dm G

telling everyone we knew that rock was overrated.

Dm G Am - G

We stayed out ’til late five nights a week and felt so chic.

we worried that no one would be going out. How wrong we were !

When we turned the corner,

We swept straight in and you said : - - -
