[00:51.94] Oh God, it's another night
[00:54.65] And your head is feeling like a lump of lead
[00:57.83] You should never have drunk those party-fours
[01:01.24] You should of been home being good instead
[01:05.01] Ever been in a deja vue and the end is the same again
[01:09.82] You ran out of your silver thins and you're trying to be so high class
[01:14.91] Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string
[01:18.97] And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks
[01:23.42] And you tell them, "Oh, it's nothing
[01:26.04] There's a million where those came from"
[01:28.56] And then you whisper to your longest suffering friend
[01:32.00] "Please lend me a few quid"
[01:45.59] Oh God, it's another day
[01:49.16] And your stomach's feeling like a blown-up balloon
[01:53.16] You should never have eaten that greasy food
[01:56.06] The doctor told you that chile was bad for your blood
[01:59.71] And you're standing at the chemist in boots
[02:01.71] Coughing up your guts like you're at deaths door
[02:05.19] And all this for a packet of Do-Do's
[02:07.28] And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red
[02:12.27] It's at time like this that you wish you were dead
[02:15.74] And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drunk
[02:18.97] A bottle of bleach and you tell yourself
[02:21.87] "Never, never again, not until next week anyway"
[02:27.10] And you were never one for holding drink
[02:30.12] And you stagger off to the toilet
[02:33.06] And you throw up like it was Christmas
[02:35.49] And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes
[02:38.80] And there's no paper towels, what else can go wrong for you
[02:43.22] It's a choice between a cab fare home and a packet of cigarettes
[02:47.18] So you choose and the money sticks in the machine
[02:51.57] And the manager says
[02:53.02] "Tough shit, drink up and leave"
[05:59.37] Oh God, it's another disease
[06:02.08] And you just got rid of the last
[06:05.53] You were beginning to feel okay
[06:08.44] And the friends you gave it to were speaking to you again
[06:19.57] And you find yourself having sex in the back of the car
[06:23.32] And the girl underneath doesn't care who you are
[06:26.77] And you're nearly there and she still doesn't care
[06:30.00] And her chewing gum is getting stuck in your hair
[06:33.43] And there's something wrong
[06:35.48] Something that you forgot
[06:36.99] Oh shit, you've forgotten the rubber
[06:39.69] And you don't want a kid
[06:41.30] Well, deny it was you, oh Christ, if your dad finds out
[06:45.42] Then he'll make you stay in and do your homework
[06:49.18] And cut your hair and wear your school uniform out in the street
[06:53.92] What a fate worse than death
[07:00.00] Oh well, he can't hit you, you can hit him back
[07:03.26] And play your records so loud
[07:06.25] All the ones that he especially hates
[07:07.92] Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II
[07:10.70] Well, even you hate those
[07:13.84] Well, on second thoughts
[07:15.46] I think I'll leave home and go and live in America
[07:19.16] Because they earn more money there
[07:21.85] And you can get away with murder, yeah
[07:39.58] Oh, this is a mugs game
[07:58.67] I can't wait until I'm twenty one
[08:00.04] And I can tell them all to sod off
