Retro Emporium Lyrics

Blinded by the lights inside this smokey room full of ten bags and bucket hats
They wanna be adored in the logo tees and you can’t wait to bring it back

Stood with their hands up waiting patiently for the next band to do the same
Stood with their hands up waiting patiently for the dark fruits n purple rain

They say ‘yeah we can’t go back cos we’ve gone too far to turn round’
Time machine, well it all comes back, yeah, it all comes back to me now
Retro emporium, delorean
Retro emporium, delorean

Taken by the noise they must avoid the boys and the blokes in the yellow coats
No pyro no party, they ought to know, they ought to know that they
Champagne supernovas waiting recklessly in the track tops and weathered stripes

Stood with their hands up waiting recklessly for the kick back to ‘95

They say ‘yeah we can’t go back cos we’ve gone too far to turn round’
Time machine, well it all comes back, yeah, it all comes back to me now
(instrumental)
Retro emporium, delorean
Retro emporium, delorean

They say ‘yeah we can’t go back cos we’ve gone too far to turn round’
Time machine, well it all comes back, yeah, it all comes back to me now
Retro emporium, delorean
Retro emporium, delorean
