Hoxton Heroes lyrics

You took some acid back in '99

You said it blew your mind

And it helped you write rhymes

So you bought a trilby and a cheap guitar

You thought you'd be a star

It didn't get you that far

I don't know your name

You're just another band with a different game

And you're all the same

You said you played at Reading

Then you chart at fifty-seven

I don't know your name

You're just another band with a different game

And you're all the same

You said you played at Reading

Then you chart at fifty-seven, oh

You're off your face like you're number one

How many tracks have you sold? Mmmmm, none!

Walk round the place like you're number one

So why don't you write a tune that we can hum?

Just 'coz your dad knew the Rolling Stones

You've got the Primrose set in your cell phone

Don't kid yourself, you're an indie clone

We've seen it before, get a sound of your own

Just 'coz your dad knew the Rolling Stones

You've got the Primrose set in your cell phone

Don't kid yourself but you're indie phones

We've heard it before, get a sound of your own

You only follow Sinatra

'Coz you, you couldn't get into Rada

So let's try a little bit harder

Cos you need more than jeans and a parka

You only follow Sinatra

'Coz you, you couldn't get into Rada

So let's try a little bit harder

Cos you need more than jeans and a parka

Just 'coz your dad knew the Rolling Stones

You've got the Primrose set in your cell phone

Don't kid yourself, you're an indie clone

We've seen it before, get a sound of your own

Just 'coz your dad knew the Rolling Stones

You've got the Primrose set in your cell phone

Don't kid yourself but you're indie phones

We've heard it before, get a sound of your own

You could make history

If you just stayed off the whiskey

And yeah, you might just look like a rockstar

But how much soul did it cost ya, cost ya?

You could make history

If you just stayed off the whiskey

And yeah, you might just look like a rockstar

But how much soul did it cost ya, cost ya?
