Watch The Tapes |
| Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes |
| I get all confused when you mix up the dates… |
| Woah! |
| Don’t gimme the pretend you come for the weekend |
| And you stay for the week |
| You say that you hate it but that’s how you made it |
| Just keep it oblique |
| We’re both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
| We’re all suh-suh-suh sucked-in-by parlour tricks |
| Oh the people deceive you the kids never leave |
| Cuz you make them at home |
| You try to appease them and they show you the stick |
| But still you pick up the phone |
| But hey man, you can take it |
| As long as they don’t shove you out in the cold |
| It’s not getting better, no it’s not getting better, man |
| It’s just getting old |
| Ah ooh! |
| we do what we’re programmed to do-- |
| Hey we do what we’re told |
| I never remember to carry my book when I get on the bus |
| You never forget it’s your time to collect |
| When they are making a fuss |
| We’re both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
| We’re all high high high, high high on wiggling hips |
| Ah ooh! |
| you break off your plans for the weekend |
| And ah oh! |
| you can tell them the dates |
| But that don’t mean they’re letting you go |
| Don’t gimme the pretend you come for the weekend |
| And you stay for the year |
| Avoid all the plans cuz we’re making our day jobs |
| Into a steady career |
| We’re both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
| We all claw claw claw, cli-climb-on to sinking ships |
| And ah ooh! |
| avoid all the cold sideways glances |
| And ah ooh! |
| celebrate! |
| celebrate! |
| celebrate! |
| And then turn to stone |
| Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes |
| You turn 25 and now you’re all out of escapes |
| Hey the rock writer told me to tell you: |
| «though you’re great and you’re brave |
| You still lack that which makes you a star.» |
| Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes |
| We all get a little drunk and then we act like apes |
| Ow! |
