Lyrics:
My older brother had this way
He could spit so far
He wore his collar popped
He didn't have a care
And all the girls in school
They never stood a chance
He took their cigarettes
But he would never dance
When I grow up
I'm gonna be like him
The god of teenage cool
And even though I'm 25 years old
I lack in confidence
I used to creep into his room
When he went out at night
And put his records on but I didn't get the words
And in his full length mirror
I practice posturing
Wearing his favourite shades
And his signet ring
Initials glittering
When I grow up
I'm gonna be like him
The god of teenage cool
And even though I'm 33 years
old I've still got acne
We don't grow close
We only grow further apart
I lost my way
Somewhere I can't say
A shadow of a kid
Nostalgia Can be a kind of poison
When I grow up
I'm gonna be like him
The god of teenage cool
And even though
I'm 42 years old
And he' in prison now
