To when it all began...
From the golden days of long ago
The ones you'll never forget
In a shoebox filled with memories
I found a red cassette
And my friends thought it was strange that I was stolen away
Out of the sunshine
Make one man radio shows long into the night

Red cassette
Take me back take me back to when it all began
Red cassette
Take me back take me back to when it all began

I asked my teacher at school
what she wanted to be
She said 'it's too late for that'
I could see it in her eyes
That dreams are just a fallacy
They only lead to regret

As Sharkey's 'Teenage Kicks' hosts 
another first kiss
Somewhere under the moonlight
I put my headphones on
And let the good times roll tonight

Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began
Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began
Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began

Turning the reels back to yesterday
When the promise of youth was an empty page
Now I've made my bed and I'm busy living for tomorrow

Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began
Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began

Time won't stop slipping away
Gotta live in the moment
Every day
Gotta keep on moving
But I can't forget
How I put it all down
On a little cheap red cassette 

Take me back take me back to where it all began
Red cassette
Take me back take me back to where it all began
To where it all began
To where it all began
To where it all began
To where it all began
To where it all began
