 another bloated disco, another sniff of romance i'll forget
 we promised to ourselves before we came out we'd do something we regret
 these people are your friends
 this cunted circus never ends
 I won't remember anything you say
 I lost my social skills a while ago but now i feel them coming back
 my eyes were rolling when we met and now they are preparing for attack
 i want to fall in love tonight and form the perfect unbreakable bond
 you can be my teenage jenny agutter, swimming naked in a pond
 you know i'm always moanin'
 but you jumpstart my seratonin
 but how d'you know you've ever really loved?
 but when i feel like this, i know it doesn't matter
 when i eat when i'm not hungy i'm sure i feel my face get fatter
 then i thin out every weekend and i think that she might want me
 but i always slip off my own 'cause...
 i let those feelings haunt me, they control me, but tonight i'm letting go
 you're more then just a photo album, you're more than what some people let you know
 and if we ever make it home, i'll tell you all the things that shaped me thus;
 something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant we've got so much to discuss
 here, have you tried the blue ones?
 i hear he's got some new ones
 sleep is not an option tonight
 look at us just stand and stare
 look at them just pose and pout
 and we'll all be standing here
 until the pigs chuck us out

I won't remember anything you say

I lost my social skills a while ago but now i feel them coming back
my eyes were rolling when we met and now they are preparing for attack
i want to fall in love tonight and form the perfect unbreakable bond
you can be my teenage jenny agutter, swimming naked in a pond
you know i'm always moanin'
but you jumpstart my seratonin
but how d'you know you've ever really loved?

but when i feel like this, i know it doesn't matter
when i eat when i'm not hungy i'm sure i feel my face get fatter
then i thin out every weekend and i think that she might want me
but i always slip off my own 'cause...

i let those feelings haunt me, they control me, but tonight i'm letting go
you're more then just a photo album, you're more than what some people let you know
and if we ever make it home, i'll tell you all the things that shaped me thus;
something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant we've got so much to discuss
here, have you tried the blue ones?
i hear he's got some new ones
sleep is not an option tonight

look at us just stand and stare
look at them just pose and pout
and we'll all be standing here
until the pigs chuck us out
