80 Degrees

I turned a blind eye on history

You turned our friends into enemies

And tainted every pop song we'd go crazy about

And of all the things that you didn’t throw

Your fancy gifts were the first to go

Now the charity shops 'round here all know me by name

And think I'm insane

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees

Tried a 100 different remedies

But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you lived for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

I don't want them anymore

I found myself in a pile of books

I dance at parties now

I don't care how it looks to flirt with strangers

Never feel in danger

And let the room spin

'Cause thinking back makes me curl my toes

The way I dressed up

All lace, ribbon and bows

Trying to please you

Oh, when everything is so easy now

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees

Changed my name, went to therapy

But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you lived for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

I don't want them anymore

All the things we said we wanted

I don't want them anymore

And now I'm all fired up from hanging about

I got this heartbeat, baby, trying to get out

And I got more than one good reason to shout

I'm never ever ever going back

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you lived for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

I don't want them anymore

All the things you think I wanted

I don't want them anymore
