I've seen people spend lives yearning
Setting goals they can't achieve
Making judgements that are fleeting
Cos we're so easily deceived
Giving lives to being parents
And putting by some hard-earned cash
Taking shots of every sunset
Whilst they grow up in a flash
So every time you feel it
If the darkness plays a part
When you hear your sadness knocking
When you don't know when to start
Put on your favourite record
Let the tune fill up your heart
Put on the songs that move you
Cos we're all Indie Kids at heart
When your life has hit the railings
And your youth begins to fade
A second wind will get you sailing
From the life you thought you made
You can open all the windows
Hair flying in the slipstream
Just as long as you can tune in to
Who you are as a human being
So every time you feel it
If the darkness plays a part
When you hear your sadness knocking
When you don't know when to start
Put on your favourite record
Let the tune fill up your heart
Put on the songs that move you
Cos we're all Indie Kids at heart
So give up on the yearning
Setting goals you can't achieve
And sit back on your haunches
Watch the others be deceived
You don't need to be consuming
You should give it all away
Go sit upon a cliff top
And breathe in all the spray
So every time you feel it
If the darkness plays a part
When you hear your sadness knocking
When you don't know when to start
Put on your favourite record
Let the tune fill up your heart
Put on the songs that move you
Cos we're all Indie Kids at heart
