Never took a scene check
Never were a reject
Always lookin perfect

Now you aren't so in step
in step
in step

in step




You had your photograph, in a magazine
Such a pretty boy, only nineteen

But now your twenty-three and it's all gone now
you ain't all that, you wanna be somehow




Maybe it was only a dream!

You just thought you could be anything that you wanted to be
Sadly, it all went wrong so




Never took a scene check

Never were a reject
Always lookin perfect
Now you aren't so in step

in step
in step
in step





Still just go to the same old clubs
But the new kids have got one above
Music tastes change like the wind

You're doin now what's already been




And you still think that you're so it
Cause you know so and so, and you made a hit

But you can't hear it being played
Cause you my friend have had your day




Never took a scene check

Never were a reject
Always lookin perfect
Now you aren't so in step

in step
in step
in step
