Thought i was light years ahead of them
But i was blind they were only miles
Light years ahead of them, he must be right

I was only pretending to be just another wannabe
A love supreme in flip flops
There might be peacocks in disguise
You’d better practice your passing shots
Beware of bishops dealing with their ups and downs

You were born in Christchurch baby
Listen to the bells
They’re ringing again in your ears
They resound in the evening
They resound when you’re young
They’re sound in the morning
They resound when you’re getting old/get things done

Feel young and free
When the sun shines above me
The sounds of the city fill my heart with joy and beauty
Fountains of champagne to celebrate the next day
My generation’s full of optimism
What does it take?
What does it take to be here today?

Don't wanna spend the day
Don't wanna spend my Sunday
Longing for the next train to crash
Don't wanna spend my life, don't wanna spend my life
Waiting for the weekend to get mad
Why d'you so discreetly look at your watch ?
Twice a year, that's not enough, that's not fair, that's pretty rough
Make up your mind

I don't wanna stay
Just need a helping hand
That would make my day
So please don't let me stay

So spread, make up your mind
We're running late
Spread, make up your mind
We can't afford the time to search for another wreck
So spread and dive, maybe find
Another mate of mine
