Freddos Aren't 10p - Lucy Spraggan

When I was a kid we only had 4 channels on the TV

Yep- 1,2,3 and 4

And if you couldn’t find a channel that was playing The Simpsons then you were

probably calling for your friend next door

I remember the first album that I bought

I memorized the sleeve and I listened 'til I was completely over it

But it’s sad I don’t remember the title or the artist of the first song I ever

downloaded

I remember seeing my first mobile phone

And being completely obsessed with Snake

School’s biggest threat was calling home

Selling cans for 50p on my lunch break

I remember when LOL meant 'lots of love'

And there wasn’t such a thing as a selfie

I remember the late nineties when suddenly they realized that Pot Noodles

weren’t healthy

BRB

ASL

D' you remember AOL?

D' you remember your dial up connection?

Remember MSN and MySpace and Trojan horses

And your pop-up anti-virus protection?

Remember the freedom of coming home from school

And knowing that you only had to do your homework

Able to forget some of the names that had stuck

Some of the names that kinda, made you feel hurt

And then you sent a picture for a laugh or to that lad

Just to get a little bit of attention

Now you’ve just had to explain to your mum and your dad

Why it’s on Facebook and in your Twitter mentions

Then you see those names again

Those ones that you hate

Just forever turning up on your timeline

In the morning you grab your phone and check as soon as you’re awake

So it’s always gonna be in your eyeline

You got far less time to be a kid

Matter of fact you probably feel like the timer has started

So, take some time to fall out with that very best friend you never thought

would be the devil incarnate

Camp on the hills and forget your tent

Regret every decision that you make at fifteen

Watch the prices go up in your local shop

I still can’t believe that Freddos are more than 10p!
