  • Remember those days the early nineties?
    We both applied for places
    At the same university
    Ended up in London
    Where we needed to be
    To follow our obsession
    With the music scene
    Wherever we went
    Whatever we did
    We knew the songs

    They called us the pop kids
    'Cause we loved the pop hits
    And quoted the best bits
    So we were the pop kids
    I loved you
    I loved you
    They called us the pop kids

    I studied History
    While you did Biology
    To you the human body didn't hold any mystery
    We were young but imagined we were so sophisticated
    Telling everyone we knew
    That rock was overrated
    We stayed out 'til late
    Five nights a week
    And felt so chic

    They called us the pop kids
    'Cause we loved the pop hits
    And quoted the best bits
    So we were the pop kids
    I loved you
    I loved you
    They called us the pop kids

    The pop kids, the pop kids, the pop kids
    (Remember those days, remember those days)
    (Remember those days, remember those days)
    (Remember those days, remember those days)
    (Remember those days, remember those days)

    It was a wet Wednesday night
    We worried that no one would be going out
    How wrong we were
    When we turned the corner
    There was already a queue stretching down the street
    We swept straight in and you said
    Oh, I like it here
    Oh, I love it
    Oh, I like it here
    Oh, I love it
    Oh, I like it here
    Oh, I love it
    Oh, I like it here
    Oh, I am never going home

    I loved you

    They called us the pop kids
    'Cause we loved the pop hits
    And quoted the best bits
    So we were the pop kids
    I loved you Writer/s: Christopher Sean Lowe, Neil Francis Tennant
