[A]Owx what I’d give to be 14 once agai[B]nxx
[E]Butx still nostalgia makes me sick, I feel I’ve grown up far too quick
[A]Butx I can’t help thinking about Bac[B]kxx in the days
[E]Whenx we were riff we were the raff, My Pals would wait outside my gaff
[A]Thex door would open and you’d hear [B] myx old girl say
[E]Owx no he can’t come out to Play tonight, he’s lucky he aint dead the shite
[A]He’sx stole another tenner out of my [B] xxx   purse
[E]Andx So all you boys can piss off home, don’t bell him on his dog & bone
[A]I’mx swear to god you fuckers make h[B]imx worse.

[PRE-CHORUS]

[C#m]Butxx little did she know
[B]Thatx when she was tucked up all so tight,
[A]wex roamed the streets until the light
[B]Runx from old bill all through the night,
[C#m]Untilx The day
[B]Wex were Delinquents little shits
[A]wex were the hood rats taking sips
[B]Fromx the bottle,

[VERSE]

[E]Sox off we’d roam into night, we ride our stolen pedal bikes
[A]Andx who’s to say where we would go [B] orx who we’d see
[E]Butx still a plan that never failed, get on the booze and off the rails
[A]We’dx Buy a 20 bag of snout with fak[B]exx ID,
[E]Andx all our clobber was on form, we we’d wear the swing made uniform
[A]Greyx tracksuit bottoms, Ralph Loren[B]exx were looking suave
[E]Andx all the birds are tarted up, in Pauls boutique they’re Bronze as fuck
[A]Dressedx like it’s prom night but th[B]erex pissing in a park

[PRE-CHORUS]

[C#m]Andxx it’s only 8 O’ clock
[B]Butx who’s to say romance is dead,
[A]She’sx in the bushes giving head
[B]Anx older boy who stole the ped
[C#m]thatx she adores
[B]Butx how prince charming’s just a drip,
[A]Thex smell of stellar on his lip
[B]Herx make up’s run Her tights are ripped,
[C#m]herxx knees are sore

[CHORUS]

[A]Andx Girls were so [E] foolishx then
[B]Whenx I was a [E] hooliganx

[VERSE]

[E] Sox as the night would canny on, the joints were rolled the birds were gone
[A]Asx all the boys sat on the benches [B] gettingx stoned
[E]Andx as we got high into the night, you’d hear the sirens see the lights
[A]Sox it’s the cozers, here they come [B] tox take us home
[E]Sox with a meaty on the way, we’d through the booze and green away
[A]We’dx jump the fence, lodge out the [B] parkx onto the streets
[E]Owx hurry boys fuckin hell, can’t spend the night locked in cell
[A]Cosx my old man and my old girl thin[B]kxx I’m asleep
[E]Butx what a way to end the night, Chased through the streets by flashing lights
[A]ifx you can’t have it on your toes y[B]ourx getting torn
[E]Andx as the night came to an end, we lodged the old bail once again
[A]beforex my mum was up, I’d slip thro[B]ughx the front door

[PRE-CHORUS]

[C#m]Ohxxx my how times have changed
[B]Sox as I sit and reminisce
[A]aboutx those good old days I’d miss
[B]Sox much has changed I wish
[C#m]I’dxx not grown old
[B]Sox call us hood rats, call us scum,
[A]I’dx call us kids just having fun
[B]Wex were Delinquents who’d call
[C#m]thesex streets our home

[CHORUS]
