Alright so this is a song about anyone, it could be anyone.
You're just doing your own thing and some one comes out the blue
They're like
"Alright"
He's saying
"Yeah can I take your digits?"
And you're like, "no, not in a million years, you're nasty
Please leave me alone"
Cut to the pub on a lads night out
Man at the bar 'cos it was his shout
Clocks this bird and she looks ok
Caught him looking and she walks his way
"Alright darlin, you gonna buy us a drink then?"
"Err no, but I was thinking of buying one for your friend..."
She's got no taste hand on his waste, tries to pull away, but her lips on his face
"If you insist I'll have a white wine spritzer"
"Sorry love, but you ain't a pretty picture"
Can't knock em out, can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And now you cant have me number
"Why?"
Because I've lost my phone
Oh, yeah, actually, yeah, I'm pregnant, having a baby in like 6 months so no, and yeah, yeah...
"I recognise this guy's way of thinking..."
As he walks over, a face start sinking
She's like
"Oh here we go.."
It's a routine check that she already knows, she's thinking they're all the same
"Yeah you alright baby? You look alright still, yeah, what's your name?"
She looks in her bag, takes out a fag, tries to get away from the guy on a blag, can't find a light
"Here, use mine"
"You see the thing is I just don't have the time"
Go away now, let me go
Are you stupid? Or just a little slow?
Go away now I've made myself clear
Nah it's not gonna happen
Not in a a million years
Nah, I've gotta go cos my house is on fire
I've got herpes, err no I've got syphilis...
Aids, aids, I've got aids!
