16 Again Lyrics - Buzzcocks

Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again 

Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends 

Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten 

Just like I was sixteen again 

No one gets the lowdown right from the start 

Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart 

But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte 

I don't know 

Things in life are not played for keeps 

And it makes you happy, it'll make you weep 

And if you want some more practical advice 

If you can't think once then don't think twice 

'Cos things won't seem so nice 

You'll wish you were sixteen again, oh no 

Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again 

Things don't seem the same, the past is so plain 

This future is our future, this time's not a game 

This time you're sixteen again 

Always on your own when there's nobody else 

Asking myself would I be someone else? 

But after all life's only death's recompense 

I don't know 

Things in life are not played for keeps 

If it makes you happy it'll make you weep 

And if you want some more practical advice 

If you can't think once then don't think twice 

'Cos things won't seem so nice 

You'll wish you were sixteen again, oh no 

Look at me here I am for your eyes 

Mirrored proof of what you recognize 

I know I never will feel quite like you 

And I know you won't treat me right till I do 

But at least we'll know it's true 

That I'm sixteen again, oh no 

Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again 

Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends 

Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten 

Just like I was sixteen again 

Always on your own when there's nobody else 

Asking myself would I be someone else? 

But after all life's only death's recompense 

I don't know 

Look at me here I am for your eyes 

Mirrored proof of love's suicide 

I know I never will feel quite like you 

And I know you won't treat me right till I do 

But at least we'll know it's true 

That I'm sixteen again, oh no 

Sixteen again 

Sixteen again
