Lyric video animated by Richard Cullen Produced, Arranged, Composed and Performed by Darren Hayes Mixed by Trevor Yasuda Mastered by Mike Bozzi Music Video 1982 Oh I was a very young ten years old Tenderoni got to school early to avoid home I was emerging I was finding myself A butterfly before the guys Knew I was different but I wasn’t ashamed yet Oh Tammy Loewe you were the only fly girl in school And I was obsessed with you With your hair and your beautiful brown eyes I was gonna direct you in my own music video I had to get your hair just right And that’s when I felt a slap from behind The school Principal she said, “Oh Darren Hayes you’re a little fairy aren’t you? If I catch you playing with the girls again you’ll be in detention. Because I know there’s a name for boys like you” There’s a place I wannna go Inside a music video Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield That’s the place I wanna live Where girls have names like Billie Jean We dance in front of my VCR Steal a DeLorean never look back again 1984 Oh I was a very young twelve years old Shy but lonely not quite a girl but quite a ways from the guys Internalizing I was hiding my magic Sensitive lost in my mind I knew I was different but I thought I could change it Ooh Stephen Baker you were the handsome new boy at school And I was obsessed with you Your messy hair and those braces and that smile I fantasized about holding hands I liked to imagine what a hug would feel like But that’s when I got a letter from Mike I opened it up it said “Oh Darren Hayes you’re in love with Stephen, aren’t you? Well if I catch you watching him in class again you’ll get a broke nose. Because Darren there’s a name for boys like you” There’s a place I wannna go Inside a music video Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield That’s the place I wanna live Where girls have names like Billie Jean We dance in front of my VCR Steal a DeLorean never look back again There’s a place I wannna go Inside a music video Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield That’s the place I wanna live Ooh and I did Where girls have names like Billie Jean You know We dance in front of my VCR Steal a DeLorean I never looked back again
