another bloated disco, another sniff of romance i'll forget

we promised to ourselves before we came out we'd do something we regret

these people are your friends

this cunted circus never ends

i won't remember anything you say



i lost my social skills a while ago but no i feel them coming back

my eyes were rolling when we met and now they are perparing for attack

i want to fall in love tonight and for the perfect unbreakable bond

you can be my teenage jenny agutter, swimming naked in a pond

you know i'm always moanin'

but you jumpstart my seratonin

but how d'you know you've ever really loved?



but when i feel like this, i know it doesn't matter

if i wat when i'm not hungy i can feel my face get fatter

then i thin out every weekend and i think that she might want me

but i always slip off my own 'cause...



i let those feelings haunt me, they control me, but tonight i'm letting go

you're more then just a photo album, you're more than what some people let you know

and if we ever make it home, i'll tell you all the things that shaped me thus;

something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant we've got so much to discuss

here, have you tried the blue ones?

i hear he's got some new ones

sleep is not an option tonight



look at us just stand and stare

look at them just pose and pout

and we'll all be standing here

until the pigs chuck us out

  • Packs Of Three
    "It was the biggest ever cock you'd ever seen, but you've no idea where that cock has been.
    You said you were careful - you never were with me.
    I heard you did it four times and jonnies come in packs of three.
    She was the best shag i'd ever had...."
  • Soaps
    "Sit by me silently and brush my beard.
    No mess to mop up from the bed today.
    Will we sit next door and watch the soaps?
    Weve nothing to do and weve nothing to say...."
  • Here We Go
    "How am i supposed to walk you home when you're at least fifty feet ahead?
    Cause you walked off in a huff and i'm that pissed i can't even remember what it was i said.
    And i don't doubt you wouldn't touch him now, but let's face it, you always use to go for that kind.
    And if you ever really wanted two men at once, all i'm saying is i better be one of the guys you've got in mind...."
  • New Birds
    "You just have to be sure you're doing the right thing.
    I mean it's very easy to forget - she's just sitting there in the pub with her new friends and her new life and her new hair, and it's been five years but you'd know just to look at her.
    I wasn't even sure it were her at first, i was ready to walk away but she smiled and called me over and we said hello for a bit. when we back to our tables we were trying not to look over at eac
    Er and told our firneds to stop staring. i didn't see her for the rest of the night, but by closing time the beer's kicked in so i go up and speak to her and we end up talking about our new home..."
  • One Day, After School
    "I said with me around she'd never come to harm.
    And then she took a fork and stabbed herself in the arm.
    She used to wank me off but i could never heat her up.
    And she use to tell all her friends that i beat her up...."
  • Islands
    "We were lying in bed, staring at the moon, and i was wondering if i was supposed to be in love.
    But we couldn't quite decide if the moon was full, but i thought, well, tonight it's full enough.
    And this morning i was casually trying to sniff my fingers on the way back home.
    I could smell you and i felt like a little boy...."
  • The Night Before The Funeral
    "The night before the funeral, i got some - i sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum.
    I took off her clothes and i played with her bits and she did the same but it took ages for me to come.
    Too drunk and getting old...
    It was a lovely show for a god i don't believe in...."
  • Not Quite A Yes
    "Why could i not speak? you're not so unique. my eyes stayed on the floor.
    I make a little suggestion, before i pop the question. but i was far too out my face.
    I was out my face.
    "it's the first time in ages i've actually had the guts to ask, but i'm feeling particularly confident tonight, if you know what i mean. but that's the thing - you don't know what i mean. t..."
