windows 95

When I look in your eyes I see Windows 95. They seemed like the future for a while. They promised so much to oh so many, now they're still familiar, but less friendly. And they're always on my mind like a karaoke Elvis, a grim reminder of just how bright we used to shine. And they're always on top, like the clock on my computer, always on top like a lover who won't try.

I had a dream as bad As Police Academy 3, when they couldn’t get Guttenberg back on the streets. In my dream it had been ten years since we first met, and we hadn't found our golf sale yet. 'Cause I can read the signs, but I don't think I'll find you, and if you read my mind you'd probably go blind. And I can hear the crowd shouting, "she's behind you," but when I turn around you're already gone.

Girl, you’re a golf sale and I’m a tourist, and I want to know for sure, why you stand there and stare like The Cure doing ‘A Forest’ when you should be mine, oh Windows 95 we’ll need a brain.

Facts: Do you remember the dawn of Windows 95? What carefree times eh? Those adverts with the Stones doing 'Start Me Up' (because of the NEW start button - do you see?) The queues of people who didn't even have computers buying the software because it looked so exciting and futuristic. Brilliant. Of course, this one isn't really about that. It is, with crushing inevitability, about a girl who rather fell out of love with us. Oh, and Police Academy Three is much worse than Police Academy Four.
