The Great Electric Teenage Dream by Tim Bowness Lyrics

Automatic, incomplete
An unknown friend, a tossed-off Tweet

The past recalled, overload -
The present future’s promised roads

Ghosts of passion stalk your bed
The boasts of youth still crowd your head

You were a monster and a mess
It was the time you loved the best

Your great electric teenage dream
Once a record, now an unpaid stream

Buckled boots, flashy suits and untamed curls -
The stupid things that meant the world

Your great electric teenage dream -
The dumb excitement and the screams
Your great electric teenage dream
Was more important than it seemed
