1. "So what if your jeans are torn? They've been torn since Bros were cool" (Graham wd like this track I think)

3. "[something something something, stop mumbling man] / All the children drowned / And there's no-one around to play"
4. "You've always been searching for something / Which always seems to be so-so"
5. "Crash on the highway / Stranded between / My friends had waited / But left without me"
6. "What if I told you it was all meant to be? / Would you believe me? Would you believe?"

From a 77 track minidisc of recent(-ish) downloads, in shuffle mode
1. "You've got a great car, yeah, what's wrong with it today?" - I like this a lot
2. "Again I step out of my yard, head swings, clocks my landlord" - I like this
3. "Was the same little girl who grew up next door to you/Went through all the things a teenage girl goes through"
4. "I, smash every single star from the sky, and I, leave all my hopes and dreams behind" - I WILL get the album
5. "Golden boy, I came to party, yo girl was looking at me" - I like this
6. "Is it all over my face?" Can't stand songs with long intros, I think this is the first time I've listened as far as a the lyrics
7. "You ain't dirrty, you ain't here to partay"
8. "Is it worth it, let me work it, I put my thing down flip it and reverse it"
9. "I'm a sonic generator, it's as far as I can take it" - I couldn't find an MP3 of Bitch Don't Work, so this will have to do
10. "Powerpuff! Powerpuff! Blossom, commander and the leader. Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter."

Rap sure makes this hard.

― Tom (Groke), Saturday, 30 November 2002 11:12 (twenty-three years ago)

everyone was so sick of the whole Byker Grove novelty acts by that point, and they were releasing a very unashamedly pop song right slap in the middle of Northern Uproar's britpop, but they were kinda the missing link between Shampoo and Daphne & Celeste.

and how could that be a bad thing?

― Wyndham Earl, Saturday, 30 November 2002 11:17 (twenty-three years ago)

It also reminded me of a song from very long ago by a friends band The Bedflowers, who sounded like The Lollies. The chorus went "I like James Ive got no brains / The Wedding Present all sound the same / I hate Bros I hate Conservatives / Cos I'm really really alternative" and then the verses were just specific slag-offs of girls from their school AFAIK. I will enquire if it still exists and can be MP3ed.
