| Well, I’m off to meet my fortune in the big old world
|
| You know, it won’t take long to get where I’m going
|
| And you’ll soon forget me if you’ve got any sense in your sleepy head
|
| Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees
|
| We slept all night in a nightclub toilet
|
| All my friends are in debt
|
| I was the only one with any money left
|
| I left my house at midnight
|
| I let the pale moon light my face
|
| Rusty as a teaspoon and twice as useless
|
| I’m sick of sucking on second hand air
|
| I’ve gotta get off the train and have an affair
|
| With the pretty girl sitting across from you
|
| You know that she would do; |
| any girl would do
|
| Oh, don’t talk
|
| Talk to me about passion
|
| I spent it all
|
| I spent it all
|
| And then I saved it up
|
| And I’m off to meet my fortune in the big old world
|
| You know, it won’t take long to get where I’m going
|
| Maybe it’ll help me to feel myself again
|
| Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees
|
| I have my arm round you in the stranger’s doorway
|
| Selfishness was always the coolest flaw
|
| You don’t need to tell me twice
|
| You leave your parents for your friends |
| For your new-found cooler friends
|
| Then you meet a guy, you stop seeing your friends
|
| Oh, don’t talk
|
| Talk to me about caring
|
| I spent it all
|
| I spent it all
|
| And then I saved it up
|
| And I’m still in control
|
| I’m still in control
|
| Well, I’m off to meet my fortune in a big old world
|
| Mother nature (and the???) couldn’t stop me
|
| And you’ll soon forget me if you’ve got any sense in your sleepy head
|
| Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees
|
| We fucked all night in my brother’s old bedroom
|
| And if it doesn’t work out, I’ll come home and be alone
|
| I’ll be alone
|
| I’ll be alone |
