House Party No. 1

You want to grow up too fast

It's a race to see who is left last

From lemons to liquor to loving each figure

You're constantly wired up the wrong way

You'll be dead in a year if I wait one more day

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

But you've raised a pack of drifting delinquents

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

Say it's just some fun

Not how I describe house party number one

Your fan club arrived at quarter to eight

Grin on each face no one was late

A lady upstairs with a duvet a pillow

Save it 'till the end for a cry and wallow

The bowles where empty the beds where emptier

Our slates where wiped clean

We had booked our tickets on a long adventure

Midnight walk through the city

I was being a drifter

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

But you've raised a pack of drifting delinquents

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

Say it's just some fun

Not how I describe house party number one

A mother came upstairs guilt in her mind

"Babe I've come to check and to see what I'll find"

Take my money and not my time

Surely there's something you can buy

It smells quite sweet, not the candyfloss kind

Honey please say what's going on in you mind

I've tried to buy addresses

Please just get the message

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

But you've raised a pack of drifting delinquents

You're a rebel without a cause

Your mother thinks you're innocent

Say it's just some fun

Not how I describe house party number one
