[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Wherever we went
Whatever we did
We knew the songs
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
We stayed out 'til late
Five nights a week
And felt so chic
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
Oh, I am never going home
Oh, I am never going home
[Verse 3]
Many years have pa**ed now
When you're someone to be reckoned with
You work in California as a clinical biologist
Me I'm writing stuff about the global situation
But we don't forget the debt we owe to our pop education
Wherever we are
Whatever we do
We know the song
[Chorus] x2
