Bide Your Time

The temptation is all too great

To know it's gone and it's all too late

I tried and I tried, but I never applied

To any of the morals that I wish I had

You wait 50 whole weeks

Through all of your hides and all of your seeks

When the time finally arrives

It dawns on me that your attention derives

From the girlfriend that you left at home

Sitting in the living room all alone

You hate the suntan

And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man

And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud

Well, they do my head in

You hate the tattoos

And you can't handle the skinheads, the ones who cannot handle the booze

They're making you scared to be proud

Yeah, you're scared to be proud

I cannot still be

Come and sing your heart out with me

But if you bide your time and you stand there and you wait in line

It won't be long before her sarong is lying on your bedroom floor

But what about the girlfriend that you left at home

Sitting in the living room all alone

You hate the suntan

And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man

And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud

Well, they do my head in

You hate the tattoos

And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze

They're making you scared to be proud

Oh, is that still allowed?

You're scared to be proud

When you're on cloud #9

And the girlfriend that you left at home

Sitting in the living room all alone

You hate the suntan

And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man

And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud

Well, they fucking do my head in

You hate the tattoos

And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze

They're making you scared to be proud

Oh, you're scared to be proud

Oh, is that still allowed?

When you're on cloud #9
