Your Covers Blown
|
|
Say what you want and leave your shyness home
|
Do what you want and write a little poem
|
Leave it for her and live another day
|
And you should *leave* it for her the girl around the way
|
|
Write down a list of things you want to do
|
Leave it in work because you want to live a little
|
Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed mini
|
Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money
|
|
Hey lady, put the __ phone down
|

|
Planning a break is such a tricky thing
|
Because you move to the country, she comes back again
|
And then you move to the city but she goes abroad
|
Is she telling you something, is she getting bored?
|
|
I'll make a rough plan to sleep around,
|
I'm in a rut I need a change,
|
I'm a lazy rat if I am honest
|
My bold change of tack will fade out with the summer I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers
|
|
My baby doesn't look at me
|
The way I want her to look
|
She doesn't comprend
|
My baby's got it going on
|
She's got a friend hid in every street in this town
|
|
I want to go out but there's nobody home I'll go on my own
|
Thus starts the lonely walking
|
There's always too much talking I should have stayed home
|
She starts her cool caressing
|
The kid, she starts undressing
|
I should've stayed home
|
The dj's picking up speed
|
That's something I just don't need
|
I should've stayed home
|
The gossip's bearing down on me
|
The kids are pairing off in front of me
|
I should've stayed home
|
I should've stayed home
|
I think I'll go home
|
|
Listen lady, put your __ phone down

|
Hey lady, meet my mum and dad
|
You're a strange aberration
|
In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses
|
Where the girls like mouses
|
Breathe a long sigh of resignation
|
You resign your self to keep on growing
|
Like the seeds you're sowing
|
You're a strange apparition In this land of grammar schools and gala days
|
The ladies set in their ways
|
You had a long conversation With a kid next door
|
He's a little slow
|
But in your favour, it shows
|
|
Cancel all operations
|
Tell your friends to move out to the sticks
|
Listen lady, leave the boy home
|
Cancel all operations
|
Tell your friends there's more to you than this
