Lyrics

Happy birthday Nicola
My regards to your mother
Happy birthday Nicola
May you have many others
You don't know me
But I've watched you progress from afar
For so long

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If you need some information
I can help you

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If we'd used some contraception I wouldn't be here
And you wouldn't be you

Long ago there was a club in the city centre
Long ago
In the bar that's where I met her
But I never thought I'd see
What I have in front of me
Today

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If you need some information
I can help you

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If we'd used some contraception I wouldn't be here
And you wouldn't be you

Here's to the children
of fumblings in the dark
Underneath the pile of coats
Behind the railings in the park

I was so eager to be a man
that I really couldn't see
You'd be asking me one day for a lifetime of love
And sixteen years of pocket money

Happy birthday Nicola
Happy birthday Nicola
Happy birthday Nicola
Happy birthday Nicola

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If you need some information
I can help you

Listen to the old generation
We are here to help you through
If we'd used some contraception I wouldn't be here
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
And you wouldn't be you
