The Softies - "Lambretta Boy"

The other day Brad and I went to a really rad record store and they had a ton of seven inches. I picked up another great K Records release: The Softies' 1994 7" in the International Pop Underground series. It has a song "Lambretta Boy" about a scooter boy! I couldn't believe I've never heard of this song, especially since "Holiday in Rhode Island" (which strangely I did on my scooter just last year) is one of my favorite records. Although I am not up to speed on posting an mp3 of this song, the Softies page on Epitonic.com has "Sleep Away Your Troubles" which is the song that sold me on them. here are the lyrics to "Lambretta Boy":

I'd like to imagine your kiss is like dynamite
I didn't think that you would call me tonight

I like you
things you do
you're mod through and through

let's go for a ride on your sparkly Lambretta
I'll sit behind you and cling to your sweater

I like you
things you do
let's talk about The Who

It's all tight trousers and records to you
let's wear our parkas and sport big hair-dos

you're only 16 but you seem so much older
I'm 25 now and I can't get much bolder

I like you
things you do
wish I wasn't too old for you...
