Wombats, The - 1996 Lyrics
I had no cares in the 1990s,
I knew of no downfalls,
Though war was breaking out all around me,
My concerns were with prank calls.
She kissed me on the cheek,
Right in front of the older kids,
When our self belief, our self belief,
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch.
'Cause now it feels like,
We kiss with one eye on our T.V. set,
And the more I give, the less I get,
Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile,
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996,
So hard to beat those teenage kicks,
Bring back 1996.
We were cloning sheep in the 1990s,
We were building telescopes,
And sugar filled the whole of my body,
As I urged it on to grow.
I kissed her on the cheek,
I kissed her on the cheek,
Just to impress the older kids,
But my self belief, my self belief,
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch.
'Cause now it feels like,
We kiss with one eye on our T.V. set,
And the more I give, the less I get,
Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile,
There's little here to miss,
Bring back 1996.
Stop talking, stop talking,
I need a lover, not a friend tonight,
I'm leaving, I'm leaving,
I'm not cut out for the modern life.
I'll never beat those teenage kicks [x3]
Bring back 1996

Gotta love the lifeguard at 3:57
Remember to stay hydrated
2019 anybody?
"So what is growing up like?"
This.
I was born in 1996.
9 years old and loving school holidays!!! 1996 was fun #imisskisschase
Ssx on tour
the format hurts in small screen
Still such a great song.
Dolly the sheep, Princess Diana, and John Major drinking a pint. Truly better times.
So posh!
Bring back 2011 pls
Born in 83, FIFA 96 PC
Oh, to be 16 again and undo so many mistakes...
Ah yes, back when I was 2
1996 is my favorite year..
My favourite song by an incredible band. This song makes me nostalgic, sad and immensely happy all at the same time.
Anyone in 2019? 🙈
Love this song...optimistic but with such a strong melancholic background. These guys are so talented!
this is a great water commercial
This video made me thirsty
On repeat
Yo wtf?
Love this song 😋
Said to my friend ‘god I love 1996’ and she said ‘what? It’s called 1995’. Can’t listen to the song without thinking of that now. Not good that she doesn’t know the name of the song seeing as though we’re gonna go see them in 2 months
08/06/1996 what's up?
so he was partying when he was 12?
Me: is it possible to miss when you didn’t exist?
Also me: * was born 11 years after 1996 *
Not bad...there are other 13 year old who listen to the type of music i did at 11....
Y'all it's not water, it's vinegar.
Born 1996 and I've fucked up my life immensely from drug habits, toxic relationships, endless partying and finally left feeling empty. Make your choices wisely kids my chaotic life began at 10. Make better decisions than me 🙏
I was born in 2000
His vocals are amazing
1996 was GREAT
Awesome soong
I was born on 1996
This song should have been a smash hit all over the radio.
Sweet. :D
tem que se manter hidratadas crianças
things were easy in 1996 i was yet to be born
Why does he look oddly similar to Spike Spiegel
I was born in 1996! Haha. It's kinda cool hearing a song about that year. Crazy to think I'll be 23 next year.
Dadada dada dadada da dada dadada dada da da da
i was born in august 1996
This song makes me cry every time, even though I was 2 at that time haha
Spike Spiegel's still alive?
even though this song was made n the 10's it totally reminds me of 1996's style of music and takes me back to those glory days....
oct. 2018
Anyone seen Jonah Hill's "Mid90s" trailer? This would be a perfect song for it.
I was playing with my batman and Jonny Quest toys in 1996 😬😂
In 1996 I was -4 years old haha
Everyone is wearing snorkle gear because now they're underwater in debt
Im 19 now I dont want to be 20 :(
Love the song but the vid reminds me of the kooks
Year I was born! 😃
1996: 19 and got married that year. glad that's over, lol
No clip of Euro 96 football?..
Nothing beats those teenage kicks.
I was born in 1996 and I miss it, start existing was great.
like if youre 2018
1996 when I was born 😂
1996...I was at school...All my classmates were very arrogant.
Em 96 eu tinha 9 anos. Ano da separação dos meus pais.
Bring back Euro 96
It's coming home
I swear every wombats song is a f***in bop
101 like boss
1996 l was 8yr old.
I had no cares in the 1990s
I knew of no downfalls
The war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek
She kissed me on the cheek
Right in front of the older kids
When my self-belief, my self-belief
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
'Cause now it feels like
We kissed with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give, the less I get
Using fairground rides just to spark her smile
This little hit to miss, bring back 1996, bring back 1996
So hard to beat those teenage kicks, bring back 1996
We were cloning sheep in the 1990s
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I edged it all to grow
I kissed her on the cheek
I kissed her on the cheek
Just to impress the older kids
But my self-belief, my self-belief
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
'Cause now it feels like
We kissed with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give, the less I get
Using fairground rides just to spark her smile
This little hit to miss, bring back 1996, bring back 1996
Stop talking, stop talking
I need a lover not a friend tonight
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I'm not cut out for the modern life
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
Bring back 1996

Track🔥💯 I Was Six And A Prick In 1996
Wow I miss 1996. Great year. Mainly because I wasn’t born yet.
in 1996 I was 9 years old!!! I love techno music...
My facve
I was 6 years old.
I have nostalgia for somewhere Ive never been
The year of britpop
In 1996 I would have been -5 years old :)
wow, has this trio been through alot. thanks for being here in '18
holy shit how am i just hearing this dear god its good
Best way to wake up, starting with the newest wombats video and then ending up here. Feels good.
No wonder Cape Town has no water
Поясните, в чем смысл клипа?
I loved 1996 it was such a great time non existance was prob my favorite part of it.
1996 baby oof
96 was a great year,shitting in my nappy and learning how to walk and talk
At least they're drinking water and not lean...
Tord's face at 2:21 like what the ever loving fuck have I gotten myself in for these people have water fetishes. WATER FETISHES!!!
Ah I like this band but this is one of the most bizarre music videos I have ever seen.
I first heard this song when I was 13. In a couple months I’ll turn 18. This is the first song from The Wombats that I ever heard and It’s my favorite song ever. It just has an amazing sense of nostalgia, I really think it’ll stick with me for a very long time
Oh yeah the 90s life was great ohhh fuck off will you!!
this song makes me miss a period of time I wasn't even alive in
my birth year!
That was the first song I heard of them and I remember watching the video for the first time. So I listened to the other songs and fell in love with their music! Now I‘m sitting here waiting for the postman to bring me my concert ticket 😍 second time I‘m going on one of their concerts!
17th dec 1996 I was born I am 21 today and I just wanna say this song is dull.
I miss 1996 so much existing was the best
Liked this song until I read the comments section and found out I have to have been alive in 1996 to enjoy this song.
