[00:18.98]Say what you want and leave your shyness home
[00:22.77]You should do what you want and write a little poem
[00:27.64]Leave it for her and live another day
[00:31.46]You should leave it for her, the girl around the way
[00:35.64]
[00:45.27]Write down a list of things you want to do
[00:49.07]Leave it in work because you want to live a little
[00:53.77]Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini
[00:58.34]Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money

[01:33.90]Planning a break is such a tricky thing
[01:37.55]Because you move to the country, she comes back again
[01:41.95]And then you move to the city but she goes abroad
[01:46.30]Is she telling you something, is she getting bored?
[01:50.94]
[01:59.68]I'll make a rough plan to sleep around, I'm in a rut
[02:03.73]I need a change, I'm a lazy rat if I am honest
[02:08.42]My bold change of tact will fade out with the summer
[02:12.62]I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers
[02:17.54]
[02:20.09]My baby doesn't look at me
[02:23.57]The way I want her to
[02:25.58]She doesn't comprend
[02:28.41]
[02:30.42]My baby's got it going on
[02:33.35]She's got a friend hid in every street in this town
[02:39.59]I want to go out but there's nobody home
[02:46.15]I'll go on my own
[02:48.20]
[02:57.99]Thus starts the lonely walking
[03:00.47]There's always too much talking
[03:03.44]I should have stayed home
[03:09.48]She starts her cool caressing
[03:12.25]The kid, she starts undressing
[03:18.67]I should've stayed home
[03:21.37]The DJ's picking up speed
[03:24.32]That's something I just don't need
[03:29.05]I should've stayed home
[03:33.19]The gossip's bearing down on me
[03:36.14]The kids are pairing off in front of me
[03:40.94]I should've stayed home
[03:43.92]I should've stayed home
[03:47.89]I think I'll go home
[03:51.81]

[04:43.06]Hey lady, meet my mum and dad
[04:46.43]You're a strange aberration
[04:48.56]In this land of potted plants and box-like houses
[04:52.97]Where the girls like mouses
[04:55.35]Breathe a long sigh of resignation
[04:58.33]You resign yourself to keep on growing
[05:01.76]Like the seeds you're sowing
[05:03.89]You're a strange apparition
[05:06.05]In this land of grammar schools and gala days
[05:10.21]The ladies set in their ways
[05:12.55]You had a long conversation
[05:14.69]With the kid next door
