This Song Is About You

Half the kids who you grew up with

Were pushing prams by the time

That they were just sixteen

If love is a drug then where is the cure

For the girl who used to talk to you

About her dream?

And all the boys with all their toys

Couldn't see the signs as we scorched out eyes

With nicotine

And the grownups said, listen to your heads

But our hearts were crying out

For heroes on TV screens

Now, this song is about you

Now, this song is about

Changes in your mind

Changes in your life

Changes in the times

And the reason you can't sleep at night

Changed in your mind

Changes in your life

Changes in the times

And the reason you gave up the fight

Half the kids that aren't pushing prams

Are now pushing pills to boys and girls

That are half their age

And the pubs and clubs are full of drunks

They don't remember the day they were born

Or even their numbers or names

An old man sings a tune

But he's drowned out by a fight

Next to a fruit machine

And all of this, our hearts, our nation

A total lack of civilization

Will it ever be the same?

Now, this song is about you

Now, this song is about

Changes in your mind

Changes in your life

Changes in the times

And the reason you won't sleep tonight

Changes in our mind

Changes in our lives

Changes in the times

And the reasons we gave up the fight

Now, this song is about, is about, is about you

Now, this song is about, is about, is about you

Now, this song is about, is about, is about you

Now, this song is about, is about, is about you
