Lyrics

[00:51.14] Oh God, it's another night
[00:54.91] And your head is feeling like a lump of lead
[00:58.15] You should never have drunk those party-fours
[01:01.35] You should of been home being good instead
[01:05.23] Ever been in a deja vue and the end is the same again
[01:09.87] You ran out of your silver thins and you're trying to be so high class
[01:15.02] Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string
[01:19.17] And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks
[01:23.28] And you tell them, "Oh, it's nothing
[01:26.46] There's a million where those came from"
[01:28.88] And then you whisper to your longest suffering friend
[01:32.02] "Please lend me a few quid"
[01:46.81] Oh God, it's another day
[01:49.61] And your stomach's feeling like a blown-up balloon
[01:52.73] You should never have eaten that greasy food
[01:56.11] The doctor told you that chile was bad for your blood
[01:59.69] And you're standing at the chemist in boots
[02:01.99] Coughing up your guts like you're at deaths door
[02:05.54] And all this for a packet of Do-Do's
[02:08.43] And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red
[02:12.49] It's at time like this that you wish you were dead
[02:15.70] And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drunk
[02:19.09] A bottle of bleach and you tell yourself
[02:22.08] "Never, never again, not until next week anyway"
[02:27.34] And you were never one for holding drink
[02:30.36] And you stagger off to the toilet
[02:33.39] And you throw up like it was Christmas
[02:35.93] And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes
[02:38.85] And there's no paper towels, what else can go wrong for you
[02:44.01] It's a choice between a cab fare home and a packet of cigarettes
[02:48.03] So you choose and the money sticks in the machine
[02:52.07] And the manager says
[02:53.46] "Tough shit, drink up and leave"
[03:17.51] Oh God, it's another disease
[03:20.17] And you just got rid of the last
[03:23.63] You were beginning to feel okay
[03:27.07] And the friends you gave it to were speaking to you again
[03:37.80] And you find yourself having sex in the back of the car
[03:41.51] And the girl underneath doesn't care who you are
[03:44.65] And you're nearly there and she still doesn't care
[03:48.07] And her chewing gum is getting stuck in your hair
[03:51.54] And there's something wrong
[03:53.31] Something that you forgot
[03:55.21] Oh shit, you've forgotten the rubber
[03:57.11] And you don't want a kid
[03:59.45] Well, deny it was you, oh Christ, if your dad finds out
[04:03.07] Then he'll make you stay in and do your homework
[04:07.37] And cut your hair and wear your school uniform out in the street
[04:12.01] What a fate worse than death
[04:18.41] Oh well, he can't hit you, you can hit him back
[04:21.41] And play your records so loud
[04:24.44] All the ones that he especially hates
[04:26.40] Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II
[04:28.91] Well, even you hate those
[04:32.04] Well, on second thoughts
[04:33.56] I think I'll leave home and go and live in America
[04:38.02] Because they earn more money there
[04:40.56] And you can get away with murder, yeah
[04:58.41] Oh, this is a mugs game
[05:15.91] I can't wait until I'm twenty one
[05:17.29] And I can tell them all to sod off
