The Birth of Uncool Lyrics
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
If sounding like last summer
Is such a bummer,
Then how good's what you're in ta
Gonna be, come winter?
If sounding like last year
Is something you should fear,
Then this year won't be fine
Given twelve months' time.
Why is it that you rave
About what is today's,
When you'll react with sorrow
Same time tomorrow?
Why not enjoy the sound
Of summer all year 'round?
There is a place you know
Where the groove police don't go
Uncool
Hey babe you're looking uncooool
Uncool
Uncooool
Uncool
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
If something's bad, it's bad –
That's a quality it had
On the day that it was born,
No matter what the norm.
Ask if it's fake or true,
Not, "Is it old or new?";
You learn what things are fine –
All it takes is time.
Uncool
Hey babe you're looking uncooool
Uncool
You and me, go for a drive - uncooool
Uncool
There is a place you know where the groove police don't go
Bobs you're uncooool
Very uncooool
Let me take you to "Uncool"
Where old skool is still the golden rule
Where appearances never flatter
Where rhyming that matters is more than street patter
Where the stars of RnB are still old and ugly
Where nobody spells New with a "U"
Let me take you to "Uncool"
Let me take you to "Uncool"
Where Ben Lee still dates some chick from high school
Where it's not post-modern to like Kiss
Your desert island discs are full of greatest hits
If something's bad, it's bad- That's a quality it had
Where perception isn't reality
Where you get a text message from a library
Where the Emperor's new clothes have got nobody fooled
Let me take you to uncool
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
Sounds like last summer
Is such a bummer,
Then how good's what you're in ta
Gonna be, come winter?
Is something you should fear,
Then this year won't be fine
Given twelve months' time.
About what is today's,
When you'll react with sorrow
Same time tomorrow?
Of summer all year 'round?
There is a place you know
Where the groove police don't go
Hey babe you're looking uncooool
Uncool
Uncooool
Uncool
Sounds like last summer
That's a quality it had
On the day that it was born,
No matter what the norm.
Not, "Is it old or new?";
You learn what things are fine –
All it takes is time.
Hey babe you're looking uncooool
Uncool
You and me, go for a drive - uncooool

Very uncooool
Where old skool is still the golden rule
Where appearances never flatter

Where the stars of RnB are still old and ugly
Where nobody spells New with a "U"
Let me take you to "Uncool"
Let me take you to "Uncool"
Where Ben Lee still dates some chick from high school
Where it's not post-modern to like Kiss
Your desert island discs are full of greatest hits
If something's bad, it's bad- That's a quality it had
Where perception isn't reality
Where you get a text message from a library
Where the Emperor's new clothes have got nobody fooled

Pretty straight forward. Doesn't matter if something is old or new, if it's good it's good and if it's bad it's bad. Ben Lee (Australian musician) is married to Ione Skye (from the movie Say Anything).
