The Ordinary Boys

Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?
All the days when we didnt know,
Right from wrong?
Now we're so grown up,
Just like we wanted to be,
Building up debts,
I won't be i won't be

What do you want to be,
A robot or a monkey? x2

What can you do?
What can you do,
Money has a way,
Of catching up with you,
Yeah yeah,
And now you work all day,
And you sleep all night,
And you work all day,
It's not right it's not right

What do you want to be,
A robot or a monkey? x2

What do you want to be,
A robot or a monkey? x2

Well it is our birth right to be discontented
Don't tell us that the world is lemon scented
You say you had it much harder
Tell me exactly how
No it doesn't have to be so complicated
Now every little thing has become outdated
Now we don't have to leave our chair
To go anywhere

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

We just don't need this weighty pressure
Surely you must think its for the better
But listen kids whatever it is
I'm sure its no big deal

Let's try to look from a wider angle
Please let's not fly off the handle
I know I can assure you that
We have it hard enough

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Oh oh oh oh
Life will be the death of me

Well it is our birth right to be discontented
Don't tell us that the world is lemon scented
You say you had it much harder
Tell me exactly how
No it doesn't have to be so complicated
Now every little thing has become outdated
Now we don't have to leave our chair
To go anywhere

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

We just don't need this weighty pressure
Surely you must think its for the better
But listen kids whatever it is
I'm sure its no big deal

Let's try to look from a wider angle
Please let's not fly off the handle
I know I can assure you that
We have it hard enough

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Oh oh oh oh
Life will be the death of me

Well I'm here
But where are you?
You're inside with better things to do

With better things to do
Like sitting in a room
And staring at computer screens
And fax machines

Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend
To step outside
Hurry up, hurry up put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight

The seaside needs us more than ever

The man says
You've gone and spent
The money
He ever so kindly lent

Enjoy your pretty things
The things you'll never use
You're overdrawn and underpaid and overweight

Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend
To step outside
Hurry up, hurry up put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight

The seaside needs us more than ever

The seaside needs us more than ever

Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend
To step outside
Hurry up, hurry up put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight

The seaside needs us more than ever

You barged into this a lie
And now you're far too deep to...stop,
When your eyes were full of fire
And you didn't feel tense

When you lie to one another
It's that there's nothing left to say,
The words 'I Love You' fill awkward silences

And life just cannot...STOP!
If you've gone and messed it...up,
And I won't be here, no I won't comfort you
So get your act together

Your matrimonial fulfillment started life as harmless lies,
Thanks to bodily requirements
You are walking blind

And life just cannot...STOP!
If you've gone and messed it up
And I won't be here, no I won't comfort you
Oh get your act together

And life just cannot...
And life just cannot...
And life just cannot...
STOP!
