 Struggling with Nineties? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I remember when I was so much younger
Hanging outside with my brother
Breathing on a Hypercolor shirt
And watch it changing colour
Friends that you had to find
Couldn't get them all online
In my room, I played guitar
Only played Oasis and Nirvana

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Still takes me back to better days

I miss the days of ditching school to watch The Goonies
When cigarettes would cost me less than the movies
And every day it slips away so far behind me
God, I miss the nineties

Those days are gone and I miss them so
Good songs on the radio
Rocking out to Smashing Pumpkins
Black o White, Macaulay Culkin

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Still takes me back to better days

I miss the days of after school at Roller City
Now all we've got's the parking lot, it's such a pity
And used to pray we'd meet one day, Kelly Kapowski
God, I miss the nineties
I'll always miss the nineties

I miss the days of ditching school to watch The Goonies
When cigarettes would cost me less than the movies
And every day it slips away so far behind me
God, I miss the nineties
God, I miss the nineties
I'll forever miss the nineties (oh!)
