All your friends are famous, you're the man at pulling favours Is that the best that you could do? Is that the best we can do? You say it before, and say it again "You're gonna be massive it's a matter of when" Is that the best we could do? Do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around, you're getting me down
It's not that you're used to failure, you put the hours in the cheques come later That's the best that you can do? It's time to take on something new? You're moving in circles, you're all over LA You're big with the ladies, so they don't think you're gay Is that the best you could do? And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around, you're getting me down You're getting around, you're getting me down
And when it don't work out, you put them on the stand Its not you're fault you got them eating from your hand You say the words, and everybody leaves (I'm not "your boy" and that's not the point) You change your hair, you fully rock a weave You don't make sense and you don't want to know You're self defensive, oh-uh
You're getting me down, you're getting around You're getting me down, you're getting around Is that the best you can do? Do we owe it all to you? Is that the best you can do? Do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around, you're getting me down [x28]
I don't know I'm born, I'm only young I don't have a choice, you know I'm only young I'm getting older, I'm getting smaller Everybody tells you, "you've got to walk taller" You did a war, and now you're poor And like your friends, you're gonna get it in the end You've heard it all before, you can't go on much more It's not like I think:
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers They die in December time
Can't put it off, you put it on, don't ever stop, it doesn't last long The younger folks they don't understand Back in the day, you're gonna get it in the end You've heard it all before, you can't go on much more It's not like I think:
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers They die in December time Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving The old folks they live their lives
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers The old folks are losers, they can't work computers
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers They die in December time Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving The old folks they live their lives
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers They die in December time Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving The old folks they live their lives
[Backing for last 2 verses] Same as everybody It's coming back to haunt me It's on all the time
Sitting in the summer The days are getting longer They don't remember why
A cost to everybody They're always sad and lonely They live their lives
I want to feel important, want to think I'm worth it Still feeling lame in the end Sit in, in the evening talking to my robots Still feel the same in the end Spend a little time, spend a bit more cash, makes you feel aright Want to know the truth, I feel the same as you do
Wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for It's never gonna do in the end The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking It's never gonna do in the end
I want to have a girlfriend, want a bigger garden Still feeling lame in the end Move to California, sell a million albums Still feel the same in the end Everybody knows, better than you know, it makes 'em feel alright Want to know the truth, feel the same as you do
Wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for It's never gonna do in the end The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking It's never gonna do in the end
[Answering Machine Message]
Wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for It's never gonna do in the end The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking It's never gonna do in the end
You wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for It's never gonna do in the end The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking It's never gonna do in the end
It's summer on the underground So much sweat a man could drown There's a panic on the overland And London Bridge is falling down
The temperature is 92 It's baking in the vocal booth All the tourists come in June There's so many you can't move There's people getting rich today There's people that they've got to pay There's lots of places I could go We should be rocking in the studio
Don't feel like working today, I feel like getting away Don't feel like driving today, I feel like getting away
Dalston is a wicked place At weekends it gets off its face And everybody calls you mate But do they really want to know? The drinks machine is running out And please don't use that ticket touts The ladies have it all on show We should be rocking in the studio
Don't feel like working today, I feel like getting away Don't feel like driving today, I feel like getting away
On my feet for a week thinking nobody cares And I can't get to sleep thinking nobody shares Are you taking to me? Get out of the way We walk on the left and good manners are free You don't have to pay You know you just can't see, everything in a day, Yeah I'm talking to you! Me? Yeah yeah I know

Coming back at you, record number two, what a way to start the day Thinking big enough, with a stronger look Got no back up plan in case we blow it
It's all the same old stuff, they think it's good enough "It works" and nobody gets hurt It happens every time, like anybody minds They're telling me, "it's just the way it works"
Too much work to do, rocking new improved, keep it in the family It's not over, 'till it's over anyway It ain't broke so fix it anyway
Got a second chance and a fresh advance, what a way to start the week Sack the formula, there's no need to bother Got no backup plan, so let's not blow it up

It's not over, 'till it's over anyway It's not over, 'till it's over anyway It's not over, 'till it's over anyway It's not over, 'till it's over anyway It ain't broke so fix it anyway Fix it anyway
Four long years ago, searching for the snow We found the Tahoe lakes, just about the perfect place 50 Runs at 'Heavenly', and the nights at 'Squaw Valley' Yeah, the trees are pretty wide, "That's where Sonny bono died"
All is quiet on New Years day, think I'll try and impress my mates So I jump into the lake, I won't do that again, here we go again....
The south shore has the lot, and last month Dave Lee Roth did a solo spot And some German bloke got shot, every year we say the same "Try somewhere different for a change", but we jump on to the plane Yeah, here we go again

Buy a junk?, delay that moon?, you think we feel the need to prove That we play the fucking tunes, while you're the one that's fucking you Now if you'd ever spared a day, at these things that don't fucking go away You can see that our contract says that we get to do this our own way
Who can't challenge what you do? Don't be punks! Who can't challenge where to go? Don't be punks! And when will we change our tune? Don't be punks! You can't tell 'em when and much! Don't be punks!
At this point you fucking loser, you don't have a fucking opinion
I'm down on the floor, there's a man at the door He won't let me in 'cause he thinks he's the law He'll give me a shout when he's figured it out Gotta pick myself up, what am I waiting for? It's never enough, yeah it's never too late I reminded myself that I'm starting again You're telling me "never", it should be "whenever"
And when the world is swinging, I feel like I don't fit in Don't even know the way, don't hear a word they say And all the money making, I just want to have a go, I'm always up on time Why can't I be just like the people that I know?
I've got what it takes, I'm bang up to date You know how it is, I'm all over the place Kicked in the face, I'm backstage, everyone here is half of my age Standing in line, I'm hitching a ride I'll give it a try but I don't have the time You're telling me "never", it should be "whenever"
And when the world is swinging, I feel like I don't fit in Don't even know the way, don't hear a word they say And all the money making, I just want to have a go, I'm always up on time Why can't I be just like the people that I know
And when the world is swinging, I feel like I don't fit in Don't even know the way, don't hear a word they say And all the money making, I just want to have a go, I'm always up on time and....

Pretty scary how they know you, it depends who you talk to From the end to the beginning, only happy when we're singing
Smiling for the camera, crazy silly monsters, they think everything is great Black and white not colour, eight times ten, no bigger, not tonight it ain't
You can try and put the face on, you can talk but it all goes wrong You can put it in an album, like the "90's never happened"
Everything is easy, but they don't believe me, I think I deserve a say Beds are made for sharing, but I'm way past caring, not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't
[Break]
Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't Not tonight it ain't
Trying to remember, nothing lasts forever, live it before it gets too late On the never ever, pretty good together, not tonight it aint
I'm Not messing about, got a mile of self doubt Yeah, you're not even close, yeah Because you're miles away
Another day in bed, sorting out your head You don't know what you're talking about
You're not right all of the time It's funny when you're wrong
You're miles away, no-one can stop me It's far from funny when you're falling over

You're not even warm, human after all You don't know what you're talking about
You're not right all of the time It's funny when you're wrong
You're miles away, no-one can stop me So far from funny when you're falling over
I'm too skint to pay my debtors, uh-oh un-opened letters Feels like a siege I'm under, how did you get my number? Oh-oh it's for the better, than on the never ever I'll get back and back and back and back and back, around we go
You're not right all of the time It's funny when you're wrong You're miles away, no-one can stop me So far from funny when you're falling over
Miles away, no-one can stop me It's far from funny when you're falling over [x4]

One day, you'll be on your own You won't have a shout any more One day, you'll be in the ground You're over and out, and You've missed the last tube home
Sum up together, nobody's the wiser It's life in the sunshine, that's what I would advise her ?
