Lippy Kids

Was cooking up some tea, riffing on the fridge contents, listening to my play list and was arrested by Lippy Kids by Elbow. Took me back to when I was a kid on the corner. A soaring moment before returning my attention to the hob.
Did I know those days were golden?

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarette scent, it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

One long june I came down from the trees
And kerbstone cool
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and hourlong hungry kisses

Nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!
