lyrics

Can't deny I'm gonna try to see her tonight
Even though I am gonna look like a fool
Because I'm gonna drink till the reasons it seems like a bad idea
All crawl off and they disappear
into a cave where all my bad ideas lie low.

I'll wear a tie to formalise what I'm gonna do
I'll put it on the line cos one day dreams will come true
But even I'm old enough to know that this won't happen this time or next
These are the wonders of the opposite sex
cos they perplex and that's the reason why I can't stay home

I'll wake up with egg on my face
For you, I'll undergo a personal disgrace
For you, cos I want you, I'll sleep by the fountain covered in my sick

I'm on the ground girl, I'm thrashing round it's easy to see
what this display is for: to show what you mean to me
And now they're dragging me away
And putting me in an unlicensed minicab
And they're calling my best friend's dad but that's not bad
Cos one day you'll remember me.
