She's been around about, she's seen everyone I've seen
She's done it all, she took it all
She took it before me
Oh she's seen every band in Brixton
Up to Liverpool
Our parents were obsessed with the way she liked to dress
But she played it cool, she went to school
She didn't bother me at all
She had an older boyfriend, kept me up all night
I heard the music pounding through the walls
It sounded like an ad for Jack Daniels
My pre-pubescent mind was at a loss
Just whack those headphones on and brush it off
(Just get to bed)
Oh everyone in town but me's aware my sister used to be a punk
I can't believe that no-one told me
It's so cool she used to be a punk
Smoked purple haze through uni days
Had girlfriends, boyfriends, single phase
She got a job, she got a raise
She met a guy, his name's called Dave
He works in "something finance"
Works the whole night long
She took him to a gig just to see if he would dig it
But the crowd was all too much for him
He sat and nursed his drink
Oh he prefers the likes of Coldplay
There's nothing like arena tours
My sister bless her heart she dragged him in
His nostrils filled with cigarettes and sin
He ran, he jumped, he flew, he fell, he fled
My sister came home to an empty bed
(Oh what a shame)
That everyone in town but he's aware my sister used to be a punk
I can't believe that no-one told him
It's so cool she used to be a punk
Go!
Everyone in town but me's aware my sister used to be a punk
I can't believe that no-one told me
It's so cool she used to be a
Punk
