People tell me I’m stuck in yesterday
Well the modern world got nothin’ new to say
Look around it’s all been done before
Can’t see nothing coming so give me the past some more

I wear my cherry red Doc Martin boots
My heavy metal T-shirt and second hand suit
I got my ’65 Beatles hair
And a wardrobe full of charity shop flares

Cos I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro

No nostalgia of my own to talk about
I got a room full of things my parents threw out
We got the same record collection too
Cos rock stars today just haven’t got a clue

So I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro

In the present history’s always with us
And too much change is too bad for business
Don’t know how long the future’s gonna last
So I keep looking back to the past

Cos I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro

I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro
I wanna be retro

I just wanna be retro
I gotta be retro
I wanna be retro
I just gotta be retro
