about

Still feeling a little under the weather so I apologize its not my best work. Just a little Vicodin enhanced trip in time to my clubbing days.

lyrics

IT was nineteen eighty three
just a couple of friends and me
found a brand new sound for us to listen to
it was music from machines that
filled our heads with quantized dreams
and from these new data streams we were programmed

to be PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.

We searched both far and wide, for where our style was amplified, we were finally satisfied with a place called Skoochie's.

We found people just like us, looking back it was hilarious, all adorned in black smoking djarum cigarettes

we were PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.

we worshiped a one armed dee jay who would preach with songs that he by like Tear for Fears, Depeche Mode and New Order.

some of those memories just fade out like the batcave where we made out but im still turned on by the scent of aqua net and white linen.

we were PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.
