You think we look pretty good together,
|
You think my shoes are made of leather,
|
|
But I'm a substitute for another guy,
|
I look pretty tall but my heels are high,
|
The simple things you see are all complicated,
|
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah,
|
|
Substitute your lies for fact,
|
I can see right through your plastic mac,
|
I look all white, but my dad was black,
|
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack,
|
|
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth,
|
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south,
|
And now you dare to look me in the eye,
|
Those crocodile tears are what you cry,
|
It's a genuine problem, you won't try,
|
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by,
|
|
Substitute me for him,
|
Substitute my coke for gin,
|
Substitute you for my mum,
|
At least I'll get my washing done,
|
|
But I'm a substitute for another guy,
|
I look pretty tall but my heels are high,
|
The simple things you see are all complicated,
|
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah,
|
|
Substitute me for him,
|
Substitute my coke for gin,
|
Substitute you for my mum,
|

|
Substitute your lies for fact,
