These Are The Songs Lyrics
[Verse 1: Bashy]
Look, I don't smoke the reefa
Back in the day, Alizé was a creeper
I used to rock Patrick Cox and Ben Sherman like a geezer
I was a little man, chocolate boy and the girls knew the sugar was sweeter
See everybody like "Pow!", I was like "oi!", and that'll be my summer of love
Fly by like I had a love bug
I was some sort of Romeo, she said you're no good for me, but I'm never gonna let you go
It was doolally, and that's straight from the heart
Back in the day the raves were so cold, you would have thought it was an eskimo dance
[Hook: Jareth]
Before there was grime, the only songs we would find were taped from the radio to memorise
Recalling all these memories
I can recall all those memories
DJ playing the songs we're feeling
And we won't stop until he's finished
Although I sound a little off-key
These are the songs we used to sing
So let the DJ play all the songs we're feeling
Cause we won't stop until he's finished
Although I sound a little off-key
These are the songs we used to sing
[Verse 2: Bashy]
Re-re-wind, when the crowd said bo--
We used to celebrate life
Now you need a little bit of luck to make it through the night
I see a man get -- ooah, ooah -- right before my eyes
Tales of the hood, back then raves were twice as nice
Wore History, Moschino jeans, those were good times
No CD, tape the music in a queue for a rave, like I've gotta get through this
No BBs, just a Nokia phone, pay as you go
No cab fare, we had to catch the bus home
I used to roll with a heartless crew, but we were so solid
When I was at college, those were the best days, just being honest
Look, I don't smoke the reefa
Back in the day, Alizé was a creeper
I used to rock Patrick Cox and Ben Sherman like a geezer
I was a little man, chocolate boy and the girls knew the sugar was sweeter
See everybody like "Pow!", I was like "oi!", and that'll be my summer of love
Fly by like I had a love bug
I was some sort of Romeo, she said you're no good for me, but I'm never gonna let you go
It was doolally, and that's straight from the heart
Back in the day the raves were so cold, you would have thought it was an eskimo dance

[Hook 2: Jareth]
I love you baby, but where's it gone
This was built for music
These are the songs we used to sing
DJ playing the songs we're feeling
And we won't stop until he's finished
Although I sound a little off-key
These are the songs we used to sing
So let the DJ play all the songs we're feeling
