Текст песни:

Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slammed delirious
Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath
And it was Saturday night in the year of the good thief

Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way ’round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl
Cried Ella’s in the band but she’s got no soul!
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

Well the night was spent and my money was young
And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung
And everybody danced in the same old way

And if I’m feeling old and desperate I’ll be back some day
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

  • Well there's nothing more to add before I leave This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve Is it me or are they younger every night? Just because they can it doesn't make it all right I'm hanging by my teeth waiting on quick relief While the kids don't sleep for days I could die in a hundred odd ways And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried Well it terrifies the life from out of me It's really such a lazy way to be Hiding in the bedroom climbing up the walls You've got to kick it out of me gently Till it begs and pleads and crawls And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And wont you make sure My mother gets half my weight in gold Tell her I just did what I was told Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
  • That everything I ever got I give to you Is this a bam up? Oh cause this is sick you know You know I’ll break your fingers then I’ll break your toes Y’know my dealer takes me everywhere he goes He got a pure white tan Yes he’s my every man Don’t make me sink my teeth into your bloody nose I met her, there on the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh Oh oh oh He said you’ve been stealing my best moves now for days I could’ve killed you in so many different ways But you’re so funny and I kinda like your band I hate these cunts from London they don’t try enough They think they’re mental cause they’ve tried harder stuff But they’re just rich kids yes, all in a fuckin mess I tried to kiss her but she’s lookin pretty rough I met her, there on the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh my dearest won't you let us Be my nearest don’t forget us Lye, la, la, lye Ella said you’d gladly give us Everything but wont forgive us Lye, la, la, lye La, la, lye La, la, lye I met her, there on the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh There on the backseat I met her, there on the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat Oh oh oh oh oh On the backseat
  • Well you’ve been scratching around in the basement Looking for somewhere to hide Making your own entertainment Trying hard to salvage some pride Well you’re the last of the original orphans And baby you’re a wonderful friend I love the way you say I’m forgiven And that I don’t have to pretend I’m no squeeze Well I’m no Monday’s child Tell me please Half a made up story Of syncopated glory Of when you and the kid ran wild And I know your kind You’ve got a dirty mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Well you say you only want to amuse me Just flash me that toothless smile You tie me up in words that confuse me And terrorize me all the while Aw you’re so twee And you’re so very dim Every time we meet You tell me of the time When you wish that you was mine And now it hurts you when you try to begin And I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya
  • Well, little girl You can roll your eyes at the very sight of me Do everything in spite of me But, baby, don't you lie to me I'll take your mood swings I'll dig a hole in your dishonesty I will kneel down in your company But, baby, don't you lie to me I'll be your red cheek lover And your man of regret There'll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet I'll be your punchbag substitute I'll sharpen your claws When you come tumbling down you're still in my thoughts There's just one thing, baby, I can never abide No matter how much you beg No matter how hard you try You can tell me that I'll never be free Baby, don't you lie to me Well, little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me Dancing on my grave and baptizing me As long as, baby, you don't lie to me I'll pay my till, You have broken my will, I'll be no enemy You'll never hear so much as a complaint from me As long as, baby, you don't lie to me Well, you can take my house Don't take my pride Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide Chase my friends, ruin my name I won't ever fight back I'll be easy to blame Well, there's just one thing, baby, I will always despise It's not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby, don't you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out Pull me down, sell my clothes I'll dig you out of a hole With your ignorant shows I'll be anything you need me to be Baby, don't you lie to me Every time your lips move, baby Someone, somewhere's bound to cry I don't even think you're quite aware of how or why Life for you could be so easy If you'd only shut your mouth Every time you feel those words come Runnin' out, runnin' out, runnin' out Ahhhhhhh! There's just one thing, baby, I can never abide No matter how much you beg No matter how hard you try You can tell me that I'll never be free Baby, don't you lie to me Drag my reputation all on the courthouse stones Break my heart up into pieces, honey, shatter my bones You can kill me with your repartee Baby, don't you lie to me Well, there's just one thing, baby, I will always despise It's not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby, don't you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out Pull me down, sell my clothes, I'll dig you out of a hole With your ignorant shows I'll be anything you need me to be Baby, don't you lie to me
  • Well I get down so I can get up And I break down so I can break up I was thinking about thinking about thinking And went and made my head swim And if I walked with you awhile you would make it worth my while And proceeded to tear me limb from limb The bet was made I kneeled and prayed And went off like a shotgun You said I reminded you of a ghost But how do you know I’m not one You told me if I kissed you it’d be easier in the long run You said you’d give me a reason but you know I’ve already got one I slow down so I can speed up (yes he does, yes he does, oh he does) And I wind down so I can wind up (yes he does, yes he does, oh he does) I was thinking about thinking about thinking But it only made my brain freeze And if I walked with you awhile you would make it worth my while How did you know I love tricks like these The bet was made I kneeled and prayed And went off like a shotgun You said I reminded you of a ghost But how do you know I’m not one You told me if I kissed you it would be easier in the long run You said you’d give me a reason but you know I’ve already got one And if I could paint you a picture it’d be nothing less than tragic I would trade a lifetime for a moment now of magic I would kick the bucket if it didn’t sound so drastic But my feet are made of tombstones and my dreams are made of plastic (oh yeah, oh yeah) I was way out of tune (oh yeah, oh yeah) Just a joke, a cartoon (oh yeah, oh yeah) Oh I did not swoon (oh yeah, oh yeah) For six days in June (oh yeah, oh yeah) I was getting down low (oh yeah, oh yeah) Baby blow by blow (oh yeah, oh yeah) A trainwreck honeymoon (oh yeah, oh yeah) For six days in June (oh yeah, oh yeah) (oh yeah, oh yeah) (oh yeah, oh yeah) (oh yeah, oh yeah)
