lyrics

Out of sight, not out of mind
Do memories fade or crystallise?
I put our picture on the wall,
The four of us on a minibus, showing off
Wanting to play the fool

We sit outside and we watch the stars
No dream ever seemed too far
The world was ours to be explored
A thought could be a reality as soon as we'd figured out how to start.

We used to skate the corners,
Annoy all of our neighbours,
They hate us,
But I don't care 'cause we are having fun

We catch nostalgia as we dream
Remember luscious shades of green?
Forget the adult life we live
A sleepy spell before we wake up to the real world
Pretending that we're still kids

Would you like to come and play outside amid the pouring rain?
We'll explore the alleyways, build dens that keep the storms at bay
Would you like to come and stay round my house on this Saturday?
We can play computer games, have pillow fights, talk 'til it's late
Would you like to come and play outside amid the pouring rain?
We'll explore the alleyways, build dens that keep the storms at bay


We used to skate the corners,
Annoy all of our neighbours,
They hate us,
But I don't care 'cause we are having fun
We're bored, our solution,
We make a resolution, it's a huge thing,
Let's talk about the days when we were young.

Smile if you remember 'cause memories are all we have
Smile if you remember 'cause memories are all we have

Back in time for kids' TV
Square eyes before our tea
Don't like the food we eat

But we try so we can leave
The table for the streets
Where our friends have planned to meet

Armed with a 50p
Bag full of penny sweets
Our natural ecstacy

Quick, run as kiss chase starts
Us boys are all too fast
As we fly around the park

Feel sick, it's worth the pain
To drink Calpol once again
6+ just ain't the same

We lose all sense of time
Our watch is in the sky
We play until the light goes out and takes our sight

My clothes are adult size
But I'm still a child inside
I did seek but now I hide

Out of sight, not out of mind
