Buzzcockswere one of the key first generation British punk rockbands to form in the wake of Sex Pistolsin 1976. They were founded by Mancunians Pete Shelleyand Howard Devoto, however Devoto left soon after the group released their EP (on their own independantlabel), leaving Shelley to take over vocals. They are best known for their catchy, poppy punksound, which has been widely influential, which was adopted as Peter Shelley took over on the vocals, singing about what the whole punk rock scene opted not to sing about love. Devoto in the meanwhile formed Magazine. They rehearsed in a friend's kitchen and played at the all-day 100 club punk "festival", in London.

16 Again Lyrics

Buzzcocks

Feeling like Im almost sixteen again
Layin round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool dont get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again
Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But thats all thats on the menu and lifes a la carte
I dont know
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy itll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you cant think once then dont think twice
Cos things wont seem so nice
Youll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no
Feeling rather strange when youre sixteen again
Things dont seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this times not a game
This time youre sixteen again
Always on your own when theres nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all lifes only deaths recompense
I dont know
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy itll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you cant think once then dont think twice
Cos things wont seem so nice
Youll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no
[solo]
Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you wont treat me right till I do
But at least well know its true
That were sixteen again
Oh no
Feeling rather strange when youre sixteen again
Things dont seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this times not a game
This time youre sixteen again
Always on your own when theres nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all lifes only deaths recompense
I dont know
Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of loves suicide
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you wont treat me right till I do
But at least well know its true
That were sixteen again
Oh no
Sixteen again
Sixteen again
