Lyrics
0:12The temptation is all too great
0:14To know it's gone and it's all too late
0:17I tried and I tried but I never applied
0:20To any of the Morals that I wish I had
0:33You wait fifty one weeks
0:35Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
0:38When the time finally arrives
0:40It dawns on me that your attention derives
0:44From the girlfriend that you left at home
0:47Sitting in the living room all alone
0:50You hate the suntan
0:51And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
0:55And the gaggles of girls who are singing too loud
0:58Well they do my head in
1:00You hate the tattoos
1:02And you can't handle the skinheads
1:04The ones who cannot handle their booze
1:06Their making you scared to be proud
1:09Are ya scared to be proud
1:12How can that still be
1:13Come and sing your heart out with me
1:27But if you bide your time and you stand there
1:30And you wait in line
1:33It won't be long before her sarong
1:35Is lying on your bedroom floor
1:38But what about your girlfriend that you left at home
1:41Sitting in her living room all alone
1:44You hate the suntan
1:46And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
1:49And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
1:52Well they do my head in
1:54You hate the tattoos
1:55And you can't handle the skinheads
1:57The ones who cannot handle their booze
2:00Their making you scared to be proud
2:03How is that that still allowed
2:06Why are you scared to be proud
2:07When your on cloud number nine
2:21And the girlfriend that you left at home
2:23Sitting in her living room all alone
2:26You hate the suntan
2:27And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
2:31And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
2:34They f**kin' do my head in
2:36You hate the tattoos
2:37And you can't handle the skinheads
2:39The ones who cannot handle their booze
2:42And their making you scared to be proud
2:45Are ya scared to be proud
2:48How is that still allowed
2:49When your on cloud number nine
2:51END
