When you come home the neighbours look at you funny Thank someone, I don't know, maybe God That you're not new money So it's up the stairs and lock the world away And then it's phone off for the rest of the day
The afternoon is peppered with regret And all the things that you're trying to forget Well just know that you're not on your own No, you're not on your own
Yellow Lambretta is knocked on its side It's begging you to steal it and go for a ride Just let me know and I'll meet you in the 17th And you can bore me again with how much you love Halloween How much you love Halloween
Your afternoons are peppered with regret And all the things that you wanna forget Well just know that you're not on your own No, you're not on your own
If you've risen just the second that the sun goes down You wash away your sins and feel the pull of the town Know that you're not on your own No, you're not on your own
Everyone can hear you but nobody's listening We've got another wedding and another christening We have to go to before we get to the summer Might have to back door it and do another runner
Like someone I used to know But please don't go there Because we're having such a good time Having such a good time We're having such a good time Having such a good time
The Irish bar is kicking out for the first time It seems nobody is playing Shanghai like last night So let's find that place with the pink neon sign The one that points to you and says, "Do you wanna be mine?"
Everyone can hear you but nobody's listening I wanna be someone but haven't got the discipline A perfect picture for everyone to see Never get emotional, get another degree
Like someone I used to know But please don't go there Because we're having such a good time Having such a good time We're having such a good time Having such a good time
