lyrics

All of our childhood crushes turned to adult blushes.
Most of our teenage flirts turned out to be just perverts.
What you’ve seen you can’t unseen.
Things were never what they used to be.

Stuart, Jimmy, Rolf, Gary.
You left us no one to marry.
You took away our childhood dreams.
Turned playtime into disturbing scenes.

Gonna be in your gang ‘cause you’re a real knockout.
Can you tell us what it is yet - can you fix it for us now?
You’ve made our innocent games seem spoiled.
You’ve made us feel ashamed and soiled.

Gary, Stuart, Jimmy, Rolf.
You were our childhood Steppenwolf.
You kept your dark side in good disguise,
entertaining those that you despised.

It doesn’t seem that long ago
Sitting cross-legged watching every show.
These were our TV times.
These are the people who live in our minds.

Jimmy, Rolf, Gary, Stuart.
Once admired - and you knew it.
You lived your lives of power and greed
hiding behind childlike naievity.

We still like to reminisce - it’s just
nostalgia’s not what we used to think it was.
Our jaded childhood memories are not as they should be.
Our black and white TV showed your true colours eventually.

Rolf, Gary, Stuart, Jimmy.
You made your names by being silly.
You had us queueing for your autographs
doing unspeakables behind our backs.
