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
