Jim Adams aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: NUMBER TWOS
Giggle, giggle – that sounds a little rude – doesn’t it!!!
There were some memorable contests for the top chart spot during my teenage years. Who can ever forget that Oasis’ “Roll With It” ended up at Number Two (after Blur’s “Country House” beat it to Number One). The incredible injustice that The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony”, Pump’s “Common People” and unbelievably…Oasis’ “Wonderwall” were kept at Number Two – more often than not by Robson and Jerome. Say what!!!!
One of my favourite Number Two tracks is from a band called Supergrass. Their track “Alright” brings back all the insane memories of teenagerdom (which I would never want to repeat!)
There are so many songs that may not have reached Number One – but they do not fall short of brilliance – that is for sure!
We are young
We run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
We wake up, we go out
Smoke a fag, put it out
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
Are we like you
I can't be sure?
Of the scene as she turns
We are strange in our worlds
But we are young, we get by
Can't go mad, ain't got time
Sleep around if we like
But we're alright
Got some cash
Bought some wheels
Took it out
'Cross the fields
Lost control, hit a wall
But we're alright
Are we like you
I can't be sure?
Of the scene, as she turns
We are strange in our worlds
But we are young
We run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
Are we like you
I can't be sure?
Of the scene, as she turns
We are strange in our world
But we are young
We run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
